As long as you have imagination, you never need to work. You never get bored. You could just walk around and go to museums and check out new movies. You could be busy in New York city for 10,000 years.

I do think there’s a great deal of politics mixed in rap. Their reference to the real world is much better than most, particularly a lot of women who seem like all they do is sing about love. Love is such a fleeting emotion. It’s such a small part of the things you do in your life. I don’t understand why that’s all they concentrate on, except that that’s what they’re encouraged to do, because if you keep thinking about love, you’ll be less of a challenge. I like that about rap. It’s got power to it.

I don’t listen to much rap, really. I can rarely listen to a whole record of it, because musically, it’s very formulaic, and oftentimes it doesn’t have the best hooks on every track. I like my music to be very musical.

I got sent off to my grandmother’s for five months and watched a lot of TV and had a lot of grilled cheese with butter on it – because she was English and put lots of butter on everything – and yogurt. The English are big on dairy products, you know? I’d have an earache, and she’d be like, “Here, have some milk.” Wonderful woman, but she had kind of screwed-up nutrition ideas.

I really don’t care what people say. It’s amazing that feminism continues to exist at all, considering how much counter-feminism is out there.

I think people at most record labels really like music, but it’s hard because everything is so subjective, and everyone’s so creative in their own right.
