It's great, because we've had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.

I've always straddled a weird line - there's a lot of mainstream stuff that I love. At the same, I still feel like an outsider. I'm the outsider who's on the inside.

I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That's so funny.

My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.

Take it back Oh, take it back I don't want your lovin', anymore Let me live Oh, let me live It's not you who I sing for

I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.

I'm a big fan of the '80s fantasy genre that I grew up watching, movies like Krull and Clash of the Titans and Time Bandits and all that stuff.

I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.
Zooey Deschanel
Image
I'm always trying to do stuff I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think.

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 have been a harmony enthusiast since I was a child, singing in choir and with friends growing up. I always put a ton of harmonies on my demos.
