"This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on.

"I basically get stereotyped a lot in terms of being a girl and writing 'chick' music for teenage girls or something.

"I've seen plenty of films where the projector broke. The problems that we have in the digital age are exactly the same as we had. Instead of, 'There's a hair in the gate,' it's, 'The computer ate the footage.' There will always be things like that going on. Nothing is perfect."
