“I’m going to go and see my in-laws, my husband’s family, in London for a bit. And then I’ll be back here I think, going to Southampton. Maybe I’ll go visit my family out in L.A. I’m just kind of over traveling too much.”
“In August, my partner Siddhartha and I are going to Greece, to Patmos, for a couple of weeks, where we go every year. It’s such a wonderful retreat. It’s very complicated to get there from here, and that’s part of the joy, because so many less people are going to that island instead of other Greek islands. There’s no Wi-Fi in the house that we rent, the phone doesn’t work — it’s so liberating.”
“I’m going to be on tour in July. I’m going to be in New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico. And then in August I’ll be in the Hamptons.”
“Michael [Polish, her husband] and I are hoping to go to Montana. We have property there. For the last two years, I’ve worked on a TV show over the summer and it was great, but I’m really pleased to be able to go to Montana and have a real summer.”
“I leave for Europe [this week]. I’m touring for a few weeks over there and then I do Asia and then I come back and I release my album. Yeah, ‘The Beautiful and Damned’ will be out this fall.”
“Summer’s always such a crazy time leading up to — we’re in spring development now. I feel like my traveling window is closing quickly. But I’m happy to just stick around.”
“I was just in Florence, and then I’m going to Tokyo, Norway, Berlin and India — all for work!”
“My house on Fire Island.”
