Quotes

Jenny: I'm not proud of my work as a child actor, but I'm open to talk about it. (edit)
Jenny: (on the Watson Twins) I’m just so impressed with their instincts as singers and their relationship to my songs. They were very serious about them. (edit)
Jenny: (on Rabbit Fur Coat) I didn’t even consider making a solo record until Conor Oberst asked me a couple of years ago. He said he was starting a label, Team Love, and he’d love for me to make a record for it. (edit)
Jenny: (about the songs on her solo album) There’s a need to keep writing even after you finish a record, but it’s taken me some years to feel confident writing alone. Now I realize the privacy behooves my songwriting. I was more relaxed and work on these songs at my leisure. (edit)
Jenny: (on her most embarrassing moment on tour) So we were in Florida, I think Orlando, and I was in the bathroom, putting on my makeup and these two girls walked in and they didn't see me and they're all, ‘Can you believe how big her boobs are?’ And I'm standing there like putting on my lipstick, and I look over, and we saw each other and the girl just turned bright red. I think she was more embarrassed than I. ‘And uh, I was like, ‘Are you talking about me?" And she's all, ‘Oh! No! No no! Not at all,’ totally lying, but it was pretty embarrassing. But sweet. (edit)
