Every song brings back memories, like I remember where I wrote all these songs. 'Universal Heartbeat' was my apartment in New York City. 'My Sister' was at my apartment in Boston. I remember places and I remember what I was thinking when I wrote it.

People make such a big deal about how people in bands look, especially if you're a girl.

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.

I listen to NPR and baseball games when I'm in my car. I mean, exclusively NPR and baseball games, and that's it, as far as the radio.

I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.
