Having bought furniture for my own house, and bought furniture for our house in Washington, a furniture store seemed like a good idea, and it also played into my personal history.

It's just like heirloom tomatoes; this is heirloom music. We used to have all kinds of diversity in our poultry, in our vegetables, in our fruits, and slowly but surely the monoculture beast comes in. I'm saying that's not a good idea. And if it means that I gotta do it on my own, then I do it on my own.

It's always a good idea to let the audience make up their own minds.

I like writing my own material - I'm pretty good at it.

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

I've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.
