I wasnt an easy, happy-go-lucky girl because I used to think about everything so much, and I think I probably still do.

I love words, I think they're fascinating and incredibly wonderful things and part of the joy of my work is that I not only get to work with music but also with words. Sometimes it's a difficult process but a lot of the time it's really fun.

Don't ever think that you can't change the past.

I think snow is so evocative and has such a powerful atmosphere.

I think quotes are very dangerous things.

If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It's always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.

I love comedy. I like to think that there's a sense of humor in some of my music - obviously not all of it.

I think comedy and music are both things that we need as human beings. I think that both art forms can touch people.

I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don't think it matters at all what I had originally intended.
