I think everything needs to be played real, for reality's sake, for truth. And that is the drama and the comedy. When you do that, it's funnier.

Maybe I'll have something out by Christmas, maybe not. I don't know, I'm really trying to take my time and do what feels right. (about the next step in her music career)
