If you're a female and you get asked by someone who shoots the most beautiful female scenes to be in their film, it's kind of exciting.

I could do without 'cool' publications calling me 'mom jazz.' But I laughed all the way to the bank, baby.

I'm not melancholy; I'm a happy-go-lucky person, kind of silly. I like funny things. I have a lot of energy. I tend to like music that's mellow, though.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.

For me making music is part social, part interaction, part collaboration.

What I was going for in the first two albums I didn't necessarily achieve. Because I was young and because it was my first time out. And the second album was such a 'quickie' sort of 'Let's just get it over with!' But the kind of music I make, there's a lot of subtlety in it. And I think it takes a couple of listens to actually really get it.

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.
