At a dinner party I played the In Your Dreams album. It worked! They enjoyed the album, so I succeeded in changing their perspective about her.

I don't understand the fans who find a problem with the album, which I think is one of her most solid works. There are strengths and weaknesses in most of her albums, but I've learned to love all of them. They are familiar; like comfort food.

She is a better singer than Tom Petty.
