I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

David Ortiz is a genius. He's incredible to watch. Over and over, he hits home runs that are simply transcendent.

People make such a big deal about how people in bands look, especially if you're a girl.

I get a little sick of myself as a solo artist. I get a little bit bored.

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.
