I don't think anything I do in life is planned. Sometimes I regret that and I feel like I try to take ahold of the wheel, but I'm also always super excited when things pop up spontaneously and when I'm a little bit out of my depth. I just find that that thrills me.

I prance around and dance by myself to hip-hop songs in the mirror.

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.

I am comfortable performing now. I love it!

I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.

So how does Liz Phair feel about Lana Del Rey? Well, as a recording artist, I've been hated, I've been ridiculed, and conversely, hailed as the second coming. All that matters in the end is that I've been heard.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.
