I just want to make music and make a living. I just have to find the means of doing that.

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.

Picture being forced to talk endlessly about your feelings and listen and care when what you needed was just to get something done.

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 don't mind people not liking me as long as there's mutual respect.

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.

When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it.
