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.

I just don't fit into the box.

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 feel it in my bones: I'm gonna spend my whole life alone.

I'm competitive, so I don't like to feel marginalized by the people who sell a lot of records.

I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

Nothing feeds a hunger like a thirst
