It's definitely an intrinsic part of my makeup that makes me want to see black when everyone else is seeing white.

I've got a lot of stamina and I enjoy people, so having lots of people around doesn't freak me out.

A lot of my friends are artists or musicians or single parent families and I'm totally aware of how difficult it is for them to make ends meet.

I have a temper on me that could hold back tides.

I'm 41, I'm a woman, not a kid. I have no interest in making silly pop music.

I've got no timetable. I'm sort of sick of timetables, to be honest.

I think it's about time the world embraced its geekiness and stopped trying to be cool. It's just...you have way more fun as a geek than as a cool person.
