I don’t know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, ‘I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.’ That’s a very good way to keep women down.

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.

Long Mistake Thinking
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.

Down Sitting Working Writing
For those of you who tried, but didn’t make it, Settle down it’s never what you think. The summit doesn’t differ from the deep, dark valley, And the valley doesn’t differ from the kitchen sink.

Dark Kitchen Thinking
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.

I’m the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I’m really surprised if a movie I like does well.

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.

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 feel like making music because – and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record – there’s more of myself in it.

Everyone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I’m a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.

I’ve been writing music since I was about eight. I would write sporadically. I wrote a lot of music in high school. I guess the oldest song on the record (“I Thought I Saw Your Face”) is about eight years old.

I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I’m the same person.

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.
