I think I have a hard time expressing myself in my relationships. I use songs to tell people how I'm feeling. If I can't say 'I love you,' I'll write a song about it and hope that the person figures it out.

From Jenny Lewis

I don't feel unlucky in love anymore, and it's not all emo. It's a scary place to be in when you're like: 'What am I supposed to write about now? I don't feel heartbroken, so now what?'

From Jenny Lewis

After Rilo Kiley broke up and a few really intense personal things happened, I completely melted down. It nearly destroyed me. I had such severe insomnia that, at one point, I didn't sleep for five straight nights.

From Jenny Lewis

I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.

From Jenny Lewis

I'm obsessed with old rotary phones.

From Jenny Lewis

My parents divorced when I was 3 years old. They had a lounge act in Las Vegas, where I was born. The band broke up and the marriage dissolved, and my mother, my sister and I moved to Southern California. And I didn't see my dad a lot growing up; he was on the road a lot. I'd see him every couple years.

From Jenny Lewis

I write music, really, to make myself feel better.

From Jenny Lewis

When I was a teenager, I went to Europe on a backpacking trip by myself, and I met a woman who was following Sebadoh. It was the early 1990s, and that was my introduction to indie rock.

From Jenny Lewis

It's funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot.

From Jenny Lewis

I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
