When I'm doing interviews, I'm doing interviews, and when I am writing, I'm writing. I sit there with a musician and I write. It's the same process since I started writing in my twenties. I like to come in and leave with a finished song.

I have a lot of memories, but I don't go into capitalizing on that. Something's got to be my own. I'm not doing the record to sit here and broadcast my memories of my father.

I'm trying to have my own thing, and I don't know if it's even possible. I didn't realize so many people actually think I'm trying to be like my dad. I read comments like 'She's no Elvis.' I'm not trying to be. I never set out to be.

I don't deal well with admiration if it's for something I haven't done. Other than exist.

I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.

I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.

I've never even been out of my BMI range. I'm 5-foot-3. If I gain five pounds, it shows.
