I'm less of a straight-up, traditional vocalist.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

You've got to just go do what you do - you can't really worry about who was attached to the movie before.

The more we pay for any truth, the better is our bargain.
