Rock stars generally don’t last in the Senate, starting with John Kennedy. Too much work, too slow, too little juice. Getting something accomplished takes a remarkable amount of tedious work.

I have no plans to slow down.
I think it’s a common misconception that because you’re a woman, you can’t command a set and have people respect you, and for some reason, Hollywood is really far behind every other industry. It’s getting better; it’s just slow.
It was quite jarring to go from newspapers to magazines, and the reason I did it was because I had my second son, and with my second child, I just thought, ‘I can’t travel at will,’ which you really need to be able to do.

We’re at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we’re still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have.

I don’t want any of my records to sound like one style throughout. That’s why I choose different grooves and songs: tunes that are sensitive and slow as well as pieces that are abstract and fast.

It’s one of those things, like in sports and other situations in life, you’re going to have some adversities and some challenges that are similar to the race. You go uphill one moment and then you go downhill, but that’s life too. You’ve got to be willing to sometimes take it slow but keep going.
