After all those years as a woman hearing 'not thin enough not pretty enough not smart enough not this enough not that enough ' almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought 'I'm enough.'

I saw Deep Purple live once and I paid money for it and I thought 'Geez this is ridiculous.' You just see through all that sort of stuff. I never liked those Deep Purples or those sort of things. I always hated it. I always thought it was a poor man's Led Zeppelin.

I tend to make low-budget movies but yeah I make more money than I ever thought I would make.

Don't make music for some vast unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

Well I needed the work - that's the honest answer. I haven't worked for a while a couple of years. So I thought it would be nice to get back to work and earn some money.

I became alienated from this religious upbringing and started making music. I wanted to be a big star. All those things I saw in the films and on the media took hold of me and perhaps I thought this was my god: the goal of making money.

I've always thought anyone can make money. Making a life worth living that's the real test.

Money it turned out was exactly like sex you thought of nothing else if you didn't have it and thought of other things if you did.

The man who has no money is poor but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.

Because people have no thoughts to deal in they deal cards and try and win one another's money. Idiots!

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.

It's hard to tell with these Internet startups if they're really interested in building companies or if they're just interested in the money. I can tell you though: If they don't really want to build a company they won't luck into it. That's because it's so hard that if you don't have a passion you'll give up.

Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music I really wanted to work on having my own identify on being who I am and doing what I do and seeing how people responded.

I had really great parents who always gave me lots of opportunity for choice but I didn't always realize how rare that was for a girl for them to say 'You can be a mom or have a career or do both or do something we haven't thought of yet.'

I know this is kind of corny but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas where I came from.

I was a big fan of 'The Smurfs' growing up even though by default - my mom used to force me to watch because she was a 'Smurfs' fan.

I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.
