I think when it comes to women who write or who fancy ourselves ‘hip downtown literati’, there is a certain contempt for being overly sexual or really looking for boyfriends.

I don’t think I could, with a straight face, describe myself as a completely positive person, but I’m not overly negative, either.

I was a very romantic, overly dramatic young lady, which served me well as a songwriter.
