It's more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that's good and where the music is used in a really great way. That's the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don't care.

I don't envy anybody trying to start a career right. There really is no music business left, in a lot of ways.

I thought everything was interesting. I wanted to go scuba diving and I wanted to learn how to surf. Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I've gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, 'Why not? Now's the time.'

Anybody who cares less about wanting to be cool, I think, is more interesting.

But I can't confront the doubts I have. I can't admit that maybe the past was bad, and so, for the sake of momentum I'm condemning the future to death so it can match the past.

It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.

I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor.
