hard home tend
When I'm not working is when I tend to freak out a bit. It's hard for me to just stay home.
solo
Rilo Kiley was a rock band, so I wanted my solo records to feel different.
kinda looks shining
It's kinda creepy, right? I think it looks like The Shining .
dudes hey love
Hey dudes ... this is a love song.
sticker traded
I had a huge Lisa Frank sticker collection. I traded them.
crowd girls hopefully impact maybe music prove trying women work
For me personally, I just try to prove myself in my work. I'm just trying to get better at what I do, and hopefully that will impact women in music, and hopefully the girls in the crowd will see my up there as a bandleader and think, 'Wow, maybe I can do that one day.'
specific trying
I'm not trying to repeat myself or cater myself to one specific group of people.
takes
I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.
fluid imagine music people record
I can't imagine how people will react to my music. For me, it's a really fluid process from one record to the next, but it's really up to the listener.
directly front
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
continued music saved sounds
It sounds cheesy, but music has saved me in a lot of ways. If I had just continued acting, I don't think I would be alive.
envisioned solo
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
opposite roll scene
You never know how things are going to turn out in a movie. You can imagine a scene one way, and it can turn out to be completely the polar opposite of what you expected. You just have to roll with the punches.
appealed classic constantly female great hear laura learned outside playing song stood structures vinyl voice
My mother had a great vinyl collection, and she was constantly playing female singer-songwriters. I first learned about classic song structures by listening to them, and Laura Nyro particularly stood out. Her voice was outside what you'd usually hear on the radio; that really appealed to me.
