I scored one film by myself, which was the hardest thing I think I've ever done.
people
When I think people like one record more than the other, then someone will surprise me.
computers digital pro records tools
I am a child of digital generation. I have done most of the records with Rilo Kiley on computers, on Pro Tools or other digital programs.
anyone music
I don't write songs, play music and tour, really, for anyone else but myself. It's something that I have to do to stay alive.
song names long
When you make a solo record, it's you. It's your name. It has to be the right songs for how you feel. It just took me a really long time to get to a place where I felt comfortable with the material and the recording.
three littles week
I tend to work well within a deadline. If I know I have to get something in three weeks, I tend to A, enjoy myself a little bit more, and B, really work well.
thinking perfect kind
I think you kind of lose the human aspect when you make things too perfect.
thinking ideas world
I'm a control freak with regards to certain aspects. I think you just have to be when you're making stuff in the world. You have to have a clear idea what you want.
song kind
Whenever I have a bunch of tunes written, I always find a kind of uniform that accompanies the songs.
heaven world this-world
If you wanna get to heaven, get out of this world.
song real writing
I'm removed in my real life, and unable to express certain things face to face. So I have always found myself in this fantasy world. That's why I started writing songs and stories from a very young age. I'd much rather walk around anonymously cooking up tales than face the people that I have known forever.
memories together female
I was born in Las Vegas and my babysitter was a female Elvis Presley impersonator. My first memory is being in her arms and she was fully dressed up as Elvis. She was an avid thrift-shopper so I started going to thrift shops when I was very young. You could put something together for no money at all.
cute dark trying
As hard as I try to sound tough and dark, I still sound cute.
mom phones hip-hop
I felt like hip-hop was my music, it was like my outsider music... but then my mom started answering our phone, 'Yo, what's up.' She was hearing me talk to my friends. I was like, 'No, mom, don't cop the hip-hop talk.
