What I did with my first records was, my writing process was that I didn't touch any instruments to write it, so I was making it all on the computer, and really the arrangements were coming first, the intricate thing.

I think every time I play, every show is different, and I think that at a certain point a song isn't about you anymore. It's about the audience, it's about how the song has worked its way into other people's lives and that kind of keeps the meaning of the song new, because you see it reflected in other people every night.

I just think that the question of women in rock or women playing guitar, I just think it's such a non-issue, and I think that probably the sooner critics and press outlets can just erase the 'what's it like being a women in rock?' question from their vocabulary, the better off everyone will be.

I think anything that you can't poke fun at is a little too precious.

An mp3 is a compressed form of data. It's not the full spectrum. It's never going to sound as good as a record.

Music is kind of a strange business, and it's too weird of a job to have mean, conniving people around.

I like to deal with my dark side in a creative way, and just sing about killing people instead of actually doing it.
