I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.

I don't think I'm romantic at all. I have a lot of faith in the right thing happening. I don't really hope for a lot of particulars, I just have faith that the right thing will happen most of the time.

Doing interviews can sometimes mess up my head. It makes me feel dirty. It's frustrating how the press recycles a quote to death.

What happens when your dream comes true - when the spotlight is on and then it moves away?

At heart I am a librarian, a bird-watcher, a transcendentalist, a gardener, a spinster, a monk.

I never really expected to win the hearts of the masses.

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