When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.

The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy.

All my battles were with male egos. I’m just looking for equality, not to dominate. But I want to be able to control my vision.

I prefer Christmas, which is everybody's holiday. It's just my nature. I don't like to be zeroed in on en masse.

Something's lost, but something's gained, in living everyday.

My style of songwriting is influenced by cinema. I'm a frustrated filmmaker. A fan once said to me, 'Girl, you make me see pictures in my head!' and I took that as a great compliment. That's exactly my intention.

people will tell you were they have gone, they'll tell you where to go, but until you get there for yourself you never really know.
