I like seeing someone that can sing jazz and then flip over and sing a pop song and then sing a rock song.

The most powerful place you can come from is just having a really deep knowing of who you are and what you want for yourself.

I think that's my hope for a lot of the feminist movement is that the gender thing sort of stops being the selling point, if that makes any sense. We're just people making art, and that's how this process has felt to me.

I go straight for Seinfeld, Modern Family, Friends, and Golden Girls. Those are my pillars of strength on TV.

I have a tendency when I feel myself getting stuck, my impulse is to go to my cupboard and find chips to eat.

I don't like karaoke very much. I like being around it, but I don't like singing it. If I had to sing a karaoke song, it's usually "Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield.

I do a lot of reading on Buddhist philosophy, and a Buddhist nun named Pema Chödrön talks a lot about acceptance. It's one of the main tenets of Buddhism - accepting that what is, is.
