Lindzi.com:
When you're on stage, you have all the confidence in the world. However,
all teenage girls are insecure about one thing or another. What makes you
insecure?
Michelle Branch: I get really insecure before a show when I don't
know what to wear. Sometimes I'll try to be a little more dressed up or a
little more girly than I actually am. I get really uncomfortable.
Lindzi.com: So, what do you do to
get over it?
Michelle Branch: I'll be like, "Okay,
back to the jeans and t-shirt or back to the hat." I'm always insecure if
I don't feel comfortable. I'm a big advocate of sweatpants. If you feel
comfortable in them, do it! That's what's going to make you feel
confident.
Lindzi.com: How do you think people
view you?
Michelle Branch: The biggest misconception
with me is that -- now, for some reason -- people find it hard to see someone
who is my age who does things on their own and who writes songs. Everyone's
like, "Yeah, Michelle Branch is good, but she's probably put together like
everyone else. I don't believe she writes her own songs."
Lindzi.com: Definitely annoying! You've
been writing your own music since the beginning.
Michelle Branch: Yeah and I think that there's
a lot of young people out there who are talented, but people don't give us
enough credit.
Lindzi.com: Absolutely. That would
drive me insane! Speaking of which, I have to ask you the signature question...
what drives you
insane?
Michelle Branch: It drives me insane
when people assume things or take things out of context. Sometimes people
can say, "Oh, she said this." But they assume that I meant it one way. Or
I'll hear other stories about other people that way. I hate when people do
that.
