One of the things I've really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that.

In 1997 Mann married songwriter Michael Penn (brother of actors Sean Penn and Chris Penn) whom Aimee Mann met in the 1980s and was courted by while Aimee Mann was recording her previous album. [citation needed]
In 2006 Mann appeared on an episode of the television series Love Monkey. They released the EP Bark Along with The Young Snakes in 1982.
