It’s really fun to say no sometimes. I just don’t want to discount how fun it is to say no and exercise your right to say no, and – as a girl – it’s important to know how to say no… and that no means no!

I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal.

That’s one of the most exciting things for me about listening to records: It’s a moment in time, and the less it’s messed with the more powerful it is. I wanted at least one song on the record to be just completely about the moment.

The internet’s like one big bathroom wall with a lot of people who anonymously can say really mean things. It’s fine, I believe in freedom of speech and I think people should think what they want, but I don’t care to hear it.

I have a music career as well, so I was going to either be an actress or a musician. Then, I did both. But, I was always going to do something creative.

I’m not cynical about love at all. I’m very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.

I think I’d say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing.

I think that the mistakes that anyone can make going on dates is probably not being themselves because you can only trick people for so long.

One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it’s my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.

I’ve been watching a lot of Joni Mitchell YouTube clips and I can’t believe her transformation from this folk singer in Canada.

My sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of ‘Do this because you love it’ not ‘Do this because you want to be famous.’

If I’m going to be ‘too’ anything, ‘too cute’ is fine. I love puppies. So what? Who hates puppies?

I love telling stories. I think of myself as a storyteller, and I don’t feel bound by being just a singer or an actress. First, I’m a storyteller, and history is stories – the most compelling stories.

I LOVE DOWNTOWN LA and I relish any opportunity to spend time there.

I’ll have these internal moments where I’m empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I’m like, “How can I see the best in this situation?” Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.

It’s great, because we’ve had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.

Every show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that’s just the way they do things. It’s like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it’s due.
