I don't have the same access or time to gain access to music the way I used to.

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

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 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.

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up? Finding someone else you can't get enough of. Someone who wants to be with you, too.

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

You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.
