I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs.
Fiona AppleOne of my friends said to me, "Oh yeah, of course you aren't writing." So I was like, "The next time you see me, I'm gonna have a new song." I wrote "Criminal" in 45 minutes when everyone else went to lunch because I had to have a hit. I can force myself to do the work, but only if someone is right up behind me.
