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

I went through a furnace and came out knowing who I am.

I love the feeling of nostalgia vying with the present. That can be from song to song, or within the same song.

I just love music, so that's what I'm always working on, and I try to say yes a lot. Maybe I'm more ambitious than I thought I was.

It was definitely in my mind to do a solo album, but I didn't know it would take this long.
