Nobody's Fool

VC Oh, no, I hated waitressing and I wasn't very good. So as I'm sitting here right now and the bugs are biting me and I'm thirsty and filming is stalled, I'm like, Come on, Vanessa, at least you're not memorizing the specials and having cheap customers walk out on you.

L2T Have you been back to the restaurant to gloat?

VC No, but I was in a restaurant yesterday having dinner with my sister and "A Thousand Miles" came on and I had this combination feeling of wanting to hide under the table and at the same time stand on top of it.

L2T In the video for "A Thousand Miles," you're seated at this piano that's being pulled by a truck, and there's an owl perched next to you. What's with that? You're moving so fast. How did the owl hold on?

VC Oh! [Laughs] One of his feet was tied to a perch that was nailed to the piano. We were going about 25-30 miles an hour and I was belted down, so I kept shouting "Go faster! Go faster!" because I'm an adrenaline junkie. And Gizmo was just like, "Uhhh." It was this great moment for me: Here I am being pulled along while playing a piano that an owl is s---ting all over. I was like, I have arrived.

L2T Have you considered that if "A Thousand Miles" gets big in Europe, you might have to convert into kilometers?

VC [Laughs] I didn't think of that!

L2T Well, I've converted it for you. A thousand miles is approximately 1,609 kilometers. Will you sing that for me?

VC [Sings] "I'd walk one thousand six hundred and nine kil-o-meters if I could just see you...tonight..." [Stops] You know what? If they don't understand it, they're just gonna have to deal, because I'm not changing it. Uh-uh. I'm not changing a thing.
