I don't do the media because of 'Woo-woo, Julia Butterfly,' as I call it. I'm not into promoting me. I'm into talking about why I've done what I've done, why I continue to do this work and why other people should care.

I'm not a media darling. I'm forever the outsider, for whatever the reason is.

If you are in the job for glamour, you're in for the shock of your life. The media is a huge shark pool.

I used to shy away from publicity so as not to let it get in the way of the work. But it's part of the job. The tabloids are a whole other arena. If fame happens, it happens. I just want to maintain focus.

I cover media people the way they cover politicians.

Tabloids are going to focus on my shoes and not my music; that's just what they do.

I'm totally not media shy and do interviews all the time and go to events and totally play along and actually enjoy talking to journalists most of the time.

There's not a whole lot of media interest in me other than just the records that I make.

I think of myself as a cover girl. But I would never do some kind of cheesy magazine.
