In my teenage years, there was a lot of angst going on.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself a professional, but I like to dress up like one.

My friends actually used to call me the 'Female Conor Oberst.' I got to open up with him once, and I told him about that, and he thought it was hilarious.

In some ways, being on the road is like summer camp. There's a camaraderie, but I'm also learning how to be more of a leader.

If members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way.

I lost my mom to breast cancer, and then I lost my father three years later. I thought, 'What am I waiting for?' Motherhood has been the greatest gift of my life.

Unlike a lot of choreographers, I don't always start with the music. I often start with a visual artist, and then find music that fits the world of that visual artist.

Life and people are complex. A writer as an artist doesn't have the personality of a politician. We don't see the world that simply.
