Nancy Miller of Entertainment Weekly chatted with Vanessa Carlton ahead of the release of ‘Be Not Nobody’ tomorrow.

Like with Britney, for example, who has such a grueling schedule, I wonder how much harder [it is] for her because she can’t go to a piano or a guitar and just down and sing and play her heart out. I wouldn’t know what to do if I couldn’t do that.” Read more.
