Sometimes people come to my shows and think I'm a Christian artist, and they put their hands up in the air, like they do. But first of all, I'm a Jewish girl from the Valley, and I'm from Los Angeles. It's funny to be misinterpreted.
I do talk pretty valley. I totally have this look, and I'm so in love with my man, he makes me talk in a weird voice, and you can just make fun of me easy.
I remember I once had a meeting with Sydney Pollack and the playwright Tom Stoppard, and they thought I was English. I said, 'I'm just from the Valley!' Just from the San Fernando Valley!
I am a bit of a Valley girl, so I say 'you know' and 'like' too much.
I was a typical Valley teen, in smoggy Van Nuys.
If you only ever heard "Valley Girl," or "Don't Eat The Yellow Snow," or a song that has a comedic narrative, you would get some impression that that was novelty music, but that's the only stuff that ever got on the radio. You can make the argument that that's what has confused generations as to what his music's about.
I was technically a Valley Girl, even though I absolutely dreaded being called that. I really hated the idea that I was a Valley Girl.
I'm a Valley Girl. You can't get me out of the Valley, I'm still here.
I'm originally from southern California, so I, like, say 'like', like, a lot. I've been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it's, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?
I love my work, but I do not think that I am saving the world... I am a Valley Girl.
I am a proud Valley girl.
