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.
I didn't want to be an artist.
I write heavily under the influence of James Taylor.
I'm like a plant, I reach for the sun.
I used to hate the sound of my voice.
The writing of You've Got a Friend was one of the most incredible experiences because it was mostly inspiration. It just came to me almost as we hear it.
