Every so often, when I am feeling plucky, I try to write a screenplay that combines all 10 of Americans' top phobias and market it as a sleeper hit.
I think that other girls and boys my age will maybe see that I'm so accepting and be accepting of other people, too.
American POWs from the last Iraq war, who were held prisoner and tortured by Iraq, are now being prevented by our government from suing the Iraqis who tortured them.
Do people have an idea of who they think I am? Yes, and that's fine with me. My music will speak for itself.
English is my language because of the history, and what I try to do - and I did that in 'Carpentaria' in particular - is to write in the way we tell stories and in the voice of our own people and our own way of speaking.
So, for instance, let me make this clear: You know I signed a statement. I will not raise taxes on anybody. I don't want to raise taxes on the American people.
People bang on all the time about whether what I've done is the truth or not. Well, to me, history is just a series of elaborate fictions.
I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.
I've always been trying to write songs that hit you in the stomach but ones that make people feel like things will be just fine.
