There's a side of me that identifies with Aileen Wuornos.

There are so many people that do things better than I do: dancing, singing like a black girl, singing country. Or if, while they sing, they move their arms in and around their crotch; when I sing, I play the piano and look like a little choirgirl. I'd like to mix it up like that.

I kind of go for the MGM version of every musical style.

The civilised cultures are the most cruel. It's the same with education - often it breeds sadistic forms of cruelty.

As long as you have imagination, you never need to work. You never get bored. You could just walk around and go to museums and check out new movies. You could be busy in New York city for 10,000 years.

If you're dissatisfied anywhere, New York is the place to be. If you're unhappy at college in Topeka, I don't know what there is to distract yourself with, you know? So anyway, I distracted myself until I decided that the distraction could be a school in and of itself.

In the hierarchy of instruments, if you're a harpist, you're considered someone with a brain much more than if you're a singer.
