New York critics - I hear when one of them watched "A Star Is Born", he talked back to the screen.

I never liked stardom. It's weird to me. I only like the creative process. I only like the work.

In the music business, we all do different things, but we sit there and admire other people who can write a song differently or sing differently. It's not so competitive.

I don't like talking about myself and I don't like talking about the work.

I'd started going to acting classes at 14, played 'Medea' at 15 and really wanted to be a classical actress.

I think of myself as a girl from Brooklyn.

If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it's Billie Holiday.
