If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job.

I'm always interested in hearing how other people read and react to my songs. I hadn't thought of it in just that way.

It's great, because we've had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.

I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.

I think every year I become happier because I become more comfident and more comfortable in my own skin.

There's nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy - that you can't really compare it with anything else.

I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I spend my entire day talking to children. And I find it fundamentally strange that you're not a dessert person. It freaks me out. I'm sorry that I don't talk like Murphy Brown. And I hate your pants suit. I wish it had ribbons on it or something just to make it slightly cuter but that doesn't mean I'm not smart and tough and strong.
