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.'

The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming.

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

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

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

I'm selling more records on my own than I did on major labels.

All that I need now is someone with the brains and the know-how to tell me what I want.
