Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

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!

There's even more stuff that I'd like to release, but I'm scared to, that's really, um, nerdy... not nerdy in a good way. Like, silly.

I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?

I can't say I don't get nervous, but I really kind of enjoy performing now.

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.
