I hear these melodies. I hear horn lines and string lines. That's what's fun about recording with an orchestra.

I like simple things. Elastic waists, so I can eat.

progress, whatever your definition of it, is not inevitable.

I don't enjoy public performances and being up on a stage. I don't enjoy the glamour. Like tonight, I am up on stage and my feet hurt.

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

I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.

I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valenties and cupids and all of that crap. I want it all.
