People can say whatever they want to about me... and I don't get too affected. But I didn't want them to think I was a failure.

I've been trying to do films for years. So I've decided to wait until the next good part comes along and develop a record on my own in the meantime.

I'm vain enough to want do a movie again, but right now more roles are the last thing on my list.

At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

I love that contradiction of being feminine but playing in the boys' treehouse. My whole life's been like that.

I think after doing Push and Shove and having it not be successful, I lost a lot of confidence. Songwriting, for me, has always been traumatic, and I've always made all these excuses. But I've realized that you have to just accept that it was a gift: "I don't know where it came from, I don't know how I did it, but I did write all those songs, and I gotta do it again."

Sometimes life is so crazy, you have to go through something to be able to find out what you're supposed to talk about next, and I think that's what happened to me.
