Cynicism Is For Lightweights.

I Have Been Told For So Many Years That You Can't Be Smart And Sexy. I Started To Think, "well, Why The Heck Can't You Be Both?"

I Love Vulnerability. It's What Keeps Me Soft And From Becoming Emotionally Calcified.

Some People Want Fame, Popularity And Huge Sales. I've Always Hoped To Have A Really Long Career. So I've Tried To Make Each Of My Creative Decisions And Business Decisions To Allow For Longevity. As A Side Effect I Got Really Famous And Really Big. I Didn't Realize The Two Could Go Together.

I Was Really Inspired While I Was Pregnant And I Wrote A Whole Album For My Baby. I Wanted To Write A Kids Album That Didn't Annoy Parents. I Used The Beatles 'rocky Raccoon' As Sort Of A Starting Place For My Writing.

I Think Being Raised Spending So Much Time Outdoors Was Really Important - While You're In It, You Might Not Know, But Now I Think Of The Things I Was Thankful For.
