My first year in L.A., I was in a band called Plain Jane, which is where the whole name Jani came from.

We have always been a big fan of party songs, and we don't think a politically significant song is any harder to write than a good, fun party song.

When we go out and play, a lot of people show up. It's a strange thing to me. I don't want to jinx it.

Instead of singing hard rock, I could just as easily be singing 'The Fantastiks' or 'Pajama Game' somewhere.

My purpose is to write, be creative; to take my God-given talent and do something positive with it.

I never had a mentor. God, it would have been nice, but I just didn't. I look up to Jane Campion. And my most favorite director Lynne Ramsay.

I feel like if I consider myself comfortable in something, then that's not exactly where I want to be. And in 'Jane the Virgin' specifically, I feel like I don't have to choose... We get to do drama and comedy sometimes within the same thirty seconds.

If you look at Jane Fonda's first tape, it's like, 'How to injure yourself to music.'

I'm a Jane Austen/Jane Eyre kind of girl.

A lot of the songs in 'See Jane Sing!' are pulled straight from the kitchen table and my parents harmonizing together.
