I Started Out Doing Musicals.

Writing Music Is Really Personal, And It's A Really Exciting Thing To Participate In Because Represents The Full Creative Process: It Feels Like Something Is Coming From Nothing.

I'm Not Doing It To Pander To People. I Just Always Knew What I Liked Versus What I Don't Like. I Never Liked Things With Too Many Zippers Or Spikes And Stuff. That Weirds Me Out. I Like Things That Are Pretty. And I Think It's Great To Be Pretty. I Like Being Feminine. I Think It's Good To Be Feminine. We Don't Need To Look Like Men Or Dress Like Men Or Talk Like Men To Be Powerful. We Can Be Powerful In Our Own Way, Our Own Feminine Way.

When You Have Endless Time, You Take All Day To Go To The Grocery Store. But, If You Have To Be At Work For 14 Hours A Day, You Manage Your Time Better. I Know I Do.

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 Think There's A Certain Space People Have Decided I Occupy - The Funny-sidekick Thing.
