In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son,

"I am the funniest woman that you've ever known.
I am the dullest woman that you've ever known.

[mimicking a town planner] 'I'm sorry, lads, you'll never guess!'"
"I want to be naked running through the streets,
I want to invite this so-called chaos that you think I dare not be."
"When [Jagged Little Pill] came out, I feel like I immediately went into survival mode to keep the 'overwhelm' that comes from being famous at bay. Ten years later, I have the luxury of time and distance to formally honor it."
