When I moved to New York in my 20s, I didn't have an obnoxious ego, but it was huge! I'll thought, "I'll never die and I can do anything."

I think I am a late-bloomer. My taste in music just keeps getting better.

I was working as a cocktail waitress in a heavy metal bar. Then, my manager said I should try some acting, which led to an audition Satisfaction, where I played a musician in an all-girl band. That movie is where I met my future ex-husband Jody Porter.

I was pretty tough and serious in my 20s.

I tend to work on a song, generate ideas, and re-arrange it like five times, and I'm glad I take the time to do that, because I think my original songs come out better.

The hard part was when I went into the studio with co-producer Eric Broucek, and he started slashing my demos. I always sweat that.
