I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It's so great.
I worked a long time to get good at what I'm doing, and nobody handed me a recording contract because of who my father is.
There are a lot of stuff on the record that I am thinking is generic but actually it is just as good as everybody else who is putting stuff out at the time.
Twyla Tharp put it together from the material I wrote and recorded over my whole career. I thought it was pretty good, but how objective could I be?
Between the record companies being the way they are and the fact that people can just download one song instead of buying a whole album, it's hard to make a good living nowadays.
I'm in a very good place to make records. Needing to make money off music is very dangerous.
You've gotta dive into the abyss if you wanna get anything good. Every record, you've gotta go down in the abyss and hope that you come out of it alive.
I don't hear record companies coming up with any good ideas or suggestions. Historically, if it ain't their idea, it ain't no good, so you got that to contend with.
When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.
Most women outlive their spouses. Divorce remains at record rates. It's important for a woman to be able to control her finances.
The digitally native generation has no idea what has been lost to the freedom of intimacy that has no fear of being recorded.
Visible Faith is an expression of my Christian faith which must be visible to be real! I gave the name to the collection of musicians who worked with me on the record.
In addition, I'm finishing a track for the movie 'Waking Up In Reno', but there are numerous other singers I look forward to recording with in the near future.
When I had my daughter, Louisanna, two and a half years ago, I started recording every funny or sweet thing she said or did on my phone.
I'm not just a singer of funny songs; I am basically, first and foremost, a musician. I'm always recording all styles of music.
I've got a life, you know, take me in the totality of my actions and I'll tell you, I will stand with my record.
I've got nothing against records - I've spent my life making them - but they are a kind of historical blip.
You know, when you're in public life, everything you do is out there. But I am proud to stand on my record.
I know that attaching memories to books may be going out of the world, but while it lasts, it's a strong record of your life.
My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.
I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.
