I'll write and make chords with my voice sometimes if I don't have an instrument even though it takes a million times longer.

And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in the 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. This brings out the fiery feminist in me.

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.

I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.

I've been watching a lot of Joni Mitchell YouTube clips and I can't believe her transformation from this folk singer in Canada.

It's strange because a lot of people are like, 'You can't change human nature-people are inherently negative.' I don't think that's true. If you expect the best from people, they'll step up.

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That's so funny.
