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

I'd like to do a tour with a bunch of people where it's just them and their guitars. It would be like Lilith Fair - only everyone plays alone, and it would be competitive.

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.

I would argue that the uncomfortable feelings she elicits are simply the by-product of watching a woman wanting and taking like a man.

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 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.

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