I had a period after touring the first record where I didn't agree with the way things worked in the music industry as far as how you release music, demand, the pace of everything. You don't know who's talking to you. Who's Spotify? Who's iTunes? Who are all those bloggers? Who says I have to do this? Why do you have to do all this press? Why do I have to do so many shows? Why do I have to do a regular album right now? I don't understand it.

Sometimes women are so great and powerful, but then they surrender to these vain things. They kind of fall for it.

I want people to have a good time. Its boring only to hear singer/songwriters spilling their guts.

People comment on how you look, it's so unnecessary. I just wanted people to listen to what I have to say instead of focusing on anything else.

I'm really depressing. Some people watch comedy to relax. I watch 21 Grams. I can recognize sadness and tragedy really easily because it's been with me forever.

I don't necessarily love all the collaborations that I've done; the more I work with other people, the more I realize that I want to work with myself.

I do it live on tape with a band. It's not like I'm doing electronic music with a laptop.
