You can't talk to a man, with a shotgun in his hand.

I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.

I just want to give it all that I got. I just don't want to waste it.

In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.

The downside of videos is that it will put my vision in front of other people, so they might not get the chance to create their own.

Sometimes I get a lyric, and the lyric, you know, comes off the page, and goes into my brain and comes out with a melody. Other times, I may create a melody first.

I'm a songwriter first...In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious...Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive...There is a downside to having one of the biggest-selling albums ever.
