edit: i have no idea what happened to my copy of this ... does anyone else have it/know what i'm talking about?
It was from an interview in The Guardian & she was actually referring to Steely Dan, although she could have been referring to herself a bit as well. Like aleuzzi, I don't mind her borrowing from the past either. Here's the quote:

"One album that has stayed with her, though, is Gaucho by Steely Dan. "It sounds like very sexy music to me, much more so than their earlier albums, and every time I listen to it I hear something else in there. Since then they have been plagiarising themselves. But that's OK; I think they've earned the right. If you can't plagiarise yourself, who can you plagiarise?"
