In your mid-30s, you have to take inventory, or you'll stumble.
Jenny Lewis -
It really helps me to get into the character of the record when I have a designated look. It just really simplifies things for me.

The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament.
Jenny Lewis -
I've gone through terrible periods of depression. But, at the core of my being, there's a strange, out-of-place optimist. Despite what I'm feeling, I'm always able to get up and do my job. Which means the world to me.
Jenny Lewis -
I come from a duo, actually, quite literally. My parents are Linda and Eddie, and they had an act in Vegas called 'Love's Way.'
Jenny Lewis -
When I was a teenager, I went to Europe on a backpacking trip by myself, and I met a woman who was following Sebadoh. It was the early 1990s, and that was my introduction to indie rock.
Jenny Lewis -
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
Jenny Lewis -
I have that working-class show-business blood coursing through my veins.

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 -
You wouldn't want to be in a rock band - trust me.
Jenny Lewis -
I felt like hip-hop was my music, it was like my outsider music... but then my mom started answering our phone, 'Yo, what's up.' She was hearing me talk to my friends. I was like, 'No, mom, don't cop the hip-hop talk.'
Jenny Lewis -
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 -
I've always felt lonely, even if I'm in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family.
Jenny Lewis -
I'm not always as disciplined as I should be. I don't sit down and write every day, but I should.

I'm an American songwriter, and I write from a very American perspective, and so did the records I grew up listening to.
Jenny Lewis -
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 -
I used to think, if I could realise I'd dieThen I would be a lot nicerUsed to believe in a lot moreNow I just see straight aheadThat's not to say I don't have good timesBut as for my days, I spend them waiting...
Jenny Lewis -
Some shows suck, but I always - the show must go on. I learned it from my past as a child actor. The show must go on. You have to just keep on with it.
Jenny Lewis -
I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.
Jenny Lewis -
The best shows I play, I almost don't even remember off the stage.
Jenny Lewis
-
I write music, really, to make myself feel better.
Jenny Lewis -
As hard as I try to sound tough and dark, I still sound cute.
Jenny Lewis -
I am a huge hip-hop fan, and growing up, I only listened to hip-hop, so I dressed accordingly.
Jenny Lewis -
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.
