I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.
I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.
I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.
I don't like what the radio plays for the most part.
You have to follow every melodic line, every emotional idea, or you don't get your money's worth.
I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.
Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.
If Americans thought music and art belonged together, they wouldn't have the Grammys.
I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.
I would go to radio stations and they were supposed to be interviewing me and playing my record and they would say, We're playing too many women right now, we can't play your record.
Men are allowed to write songs about people and women are allowed to write songs about women
We need a day of the dead. That's a perfect celebration.
Popular music sucks so bad right now.
