Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.

Just to prove i was right that it's harder to be friends than lovers and you shouldn't try and mix the two, cause if you do and then you're still unhappy, then you know that the problem is you.

I remember even getting kicked out of a bar once because I was too loud and obnoxious.

I'm very cerebral. I like to think things through.

I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!

Yeah, I like to be the maker of the art. And I like and want the money. But I don't really dig being famous.
