I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.
From Liz Phair
I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.
It makes sense - you wanna gather a lot of people together, and Vegas really does that well. New York can, but you know the hassles. I've lived there. It's an entirely different beast.
I love stretching myself musically.
People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.
Am I coasting on some early success? Yeah. It was a good lucky break for me. But I would rather earn my way back again than simply conform to what people are expecting.
My nails are a disaster. If I play guitar when my nails are long, I just tear them off.
Women artists need to break barriers in order for women's experience to be valuable.
That's what music is to me. Like, stuff that I really like to play loud. And I've got my quiet CDs, too, that I listen to around the house, but if you can't go there, then... Everyone gets so upset with me, I can't win.
Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.
