Torbert has always been frank about her bisexuality, and the lyrics of her autobiographical songs detail her attractions to and relationships with both men and women. She is also a strict raw food vegan for health (as opposed to ethical or religious) reasons. She also identifies as straight edge.
When she was diagnosed with a heart aneurysm, corrective surgery was ruled out. She wrote the song “Everyday”, from her album Superbeautifulmonster, in part as a response to that experience. In January 2008, she announced that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and is scheduled for a lumpectomy, to be followed by chemotherapy.
