I am pretty fearless, and you know why? Because I don't handle fear very well; I'm not a good terrified person.

Being able to take care of myself is something that my mom really instilled in me.

Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings.

The day before my 16th birthday I got my guitar.

Most women would not be happy being me. People say, 'But you're alone.' But I don't feel alone. I feel very un-alone.

My generation fought very hard for feminism, and we fought very hard to not be labeled as you had to have a husband or you had to be in a relationship, or you were somehow not a cool chick.

You know, the man of my dreams might walk round the corner tomorrow. I'm older and wiser and I think I'd make a great girlfriend. I live in the realm of romantic possibility.

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down, wrote this song, and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.

Right now I'm not involved with anybody, but I hope by 75 I will be again.
