I Think That I Was Being Much

I Spent A Lot Of Time Playing In Miserable Places That Were Not A Lot Of Fun. Somebody Once Said It Is Character Building And I Was Like: My Character Is Just Fine.

I Think That I Was Being Much More Uptight About Those Things Before. I Feel Like I Really Don't Have To Prove Anything At This Point Other Than What I'm Doing.

You Know, We Recently Played A Benefit With My Husband, Elvis Costello, And Sir Elton John, Who Is A Mutual Friend Of Ours. Playing With Elvis And Elton And Accompanying Them With My Band Was A Pretty Euphoric Experience.

The Best Advice My Mom Ever Gave Me Was That You Have To Talk About Your Emotions. If Something Upsets Me, She'd Say, 'get Mad About It; It's Healthy For You,' And I Could Feel Like: Good; Now It's Over...next!

So Much Of What We Do As Artists Is A Combination Of Personal Experience And Imagination, And How That All Creeps Into Your Work Is Not So Linear.
