For me personally, I just try to prove myself in my work. I'm just trying to get better at what I do, and hopefully that will impact women in music, and hopefully the girls in the crowd will see my up there as a bandleader and think, 'Wow, maybe I can do that one day.'

My mother's records were formative for me, but when I became a teenager, I wanted to find songs that she wasn't hip to. She was so hip, though, that I had to go outside rock n' roll - so for about 10 years, I only listened to hip-hop, house and techno. Jenny Lewis findformativehip share on social
I'm constantly dodging people in L.A. There are some people I don't ever wanna see again, but if you live where you grew up, you're running into people constantly. Jenny Lewis constantlydodgegrow Change image and share on social
I don't write songs, play music and tour, really, for anyone else but myself. It's something that I have to do to stay alive. Jenny Lewis alivemusicplay Change image and share on social
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.' Jenny Lewis guesshardhave Change image and share on social
Sometimes people come to my shows and think I'm a Christian artist, and they put their hands up in the air, like they do. But first of all, I'm a Jewish girl from the Valley, and I'm from Los Angeles. It's funny to be misinterpreted. Jenny Lewis airangelesartist share on social
It sounds cheesy, but music has saved me in a lot of ways. If I had just continued acting, I don't think I would be alive. Jenny Lewis actalivecheesy Change image and share on social

It's funny how a song can start in your mind, and then when it goes through all the filters, it ends up in a totally different spot. Jenny Lewis endfilterfunny Change image and share on social
I think Chris Martin is younger than I am, but when I met him, I felt like I was talking to my father. It's so strange, that feeling when someone is that famous - you assume that they are either older or better. Jenny Lewis assumechrisfamous share on social
