I Never Want To Know The Range

[as A Kid] I Felt It Was Really Weird That Music Schools Behaved Like A Conveyor Belt To Make Performers For Those Symphony Orchestras. If You Were Really Good And Practiced Your Violin For A Few Hours A Day For Ten Years You Might Be Invited To This Vip Elite Club. For Me Music Was Not About That. It Is About Freedom And Expression And Individuality And Impulsiveness And Spontaneity. It Wasn't So Apollonian; It Was More Dionysian.

Declare Independence, Don't Let Them Do That To You!

I Learned What A Lot Of Women Have To Do Is Make The Guys In The Room Think It Was Their Idea, And Then You Back Them Up.

I'd Done Three Solo Albums In A Row, And That's Quite Narcissistic.

I Don't Like Records That Are The Same From Beginning To End, That Are Too Styled And Slick. Everything Is So Designed And Airbrushed And Botoxed, It Makes Us Think, 'oh, Everybody's Perfect Except Me. Everything's Smooth Except Me.' But Nothing Is Smooth.
