I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

I just want to hear the true voices of women self-expressing - smart ones, stupid ones, ugly ones, beautiful ones, good ones, bad ones, fat ones, thin ones, all of it - until the profound silence that has resounded throughout history is filled with a healthy chorus coming from our side of the aisle.

I am comfortable performing now. I love it!

I mean, I kind of remember... I'm 36 now, so it's kind of hard for me to relate to what it was like when I was 25, or 24, but I do remember a period in time when that's how I defined who I was, by the music I listened to and the movies I went to.

When it's me in my living room, it's pretty pure, and then what gets recorded involves more people, and it keeps escalating from there.

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