• Songs are like movies to me, and so you put yourself in the movie. You become a character in the movie. The new ones are exciting because they're fresh. But if it's not that, if the story is not what you get into, maybe it's the crowd response. You hit the first chords of 'She's In Love With The Boy' and 20,000 people start to scream, you're pretty motivated. You get what you need. And it's a great story. It works.

• When you become a mom you just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do get used to it. I came back to work when Finley was three months old and the first few months were rough.

So you don't sleep anyway.

• One of the things I am very aware of not having in my life is the love of my father. ...but I know now that it is hard to make up that loss in the life of a daughter.
  It's your dad who tells you that you are beautiful.
  Its your dad who picks you up over his head and carries you on his shoulders.
  It's your did who will fight the monsters under your bed.
  It's your dad who tells you that you are worth a lot, so don't settle for the first guy who tells you you're pretty.
