I'm a massive 'Seinfeld' freak, and growing up, I always wanted to be Elaine - but I think everybody has a little bit of George in them, even if nobody wants to admit it.

A lot of times when I play a show, I'm the only girl on the bill. We're a minority, for sure.

I know so many girls that have felt like they've been taken advantage of. Not only in the music business, but in every single career out there.

When there's not much to do, you find things to do that get you in trouble.

You can have the best product in the world, you can have the best motivation in the world, you can have best education in the world, you can have all the money in the world - but if you don't have direction, you'll never go anywhere.

The last two years we got beat in this round. They came out with the motivation to win.

I love 'The Gourmet Cooking School Cookbook' by Dione Lucas. A huge source of information and inspiration. The book is organized by menu, and the recipes are unusual and exciting.

I think about fanaticism - oblivion awaits, especially for minor writers, so you have to be a fanatic; you have to be a crank to keep going, but on the other hand, what else would you do with the rest of your life? You gotta do something.
