I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.

I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I'm the same person.

Image
I have a music career as well, so I was going to either be an actress or a musician. Then, I did both. But, I was always going to do something creative.

I don't like to plan harmonies too much, because there's something fun that happens when you just sing a pass, then sing another pass, and layer them on top of each other.

It's strange because a lot of people are like, 'You can't change human nature-people are inherently negative.' I don't think that's true. If you expect the best from people, they'll step up.

Image
I'm not really that interested in pandering to an audience of people that are going to judge me before they hear me. If they hear it and don't like it, that's totally fine.

If you're eight and you live in Los Angeles and everybody has toys and you go to a country that has a Marxist dictatorship and there are no toy stores and nobody speaks English and it's blazing hot every day and they only have fish, which you don't like, then you tend not to appreciate the cultural lessons you're learning.

Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.

I'm not going to say I'm a big girl. I'm a very small person, but I'm a healthy weight. That might be a little weird for Hollywood.

I think that if you're serving yourself before you're serving a story then that's where you end up being not funny. It's not about being funny, it's about telling a story and then the comedy comes out of the situation, I think.

I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident - and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do.

Image
I'm a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around.

Image
We are all made of air There's stars in my eyes and there's sun in my hair And I'm runnin' away, it makes me feel better

Image
I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?

I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.
