I turned forty, and I'm finally going to get married and maybe have a kid.

Literature precedes genre.

I am in Boston right now, in fact, to do work at the New England Historical Genealogical Library, where I'm trying to finish up tracing my lineage back to the seventeenth century.

There's a whole bunch of unfinished stuff. Then I've got books of lyrics. I find it frustrating to finish a song and not be able to record it... so I don't write a million songs.

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.
