Andy Warhol was a close friend of her mother.

I started off singing in church as a child. The sound of voices coming together, that was my first moment of touching something outside of myself.

I did everything backward, but everyone's been so supportive. I'm not really sure what's next. There is no plan.

I've got my ideal job. I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to bang drums and dress up, and someone pays me - it's incredible.

I'm a choir girl gone horribly, desperately wrong.

Ceremonials is a big-sounding album? I guess there's no getting around that. I'm attracted to that sense of being overwhelmed by something. If there's a chance that I might respond that way while these songs are playing around me, then someone else might too. And that's surely the point, isn't it?
