The first album I bought with my own money was 'A Hard Day's Night.'

If 'New Girl' had been a movie, I don't know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it.

I want to be a freaking feminist and wear a freaking Peter Pan collar. So freaking what?

Yeah, well, we were looking for something sort of anonymous. It suggests what it is, but I like that it's modest. I feel like that's an underrated virtue. It's modest and it's kind of anonymous, which I liked, because it reminds me of my own ideas about why music should be played, which is not to be a star. That was never my intention.

Blossoming and unfolding are basically the same thing, but blossoming is more romantic.

I love to play music, and this is fun, and let's record this stuff in a way that we both like. That was exciting enough, so we just recorded it. There was no business in it until the very last minute, really. It was really as much of an extension of me writing the songs in my bedroom as it could possibly be.

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