Once I know who I'm not, then I'll know who I am.

Writing the record for me - every record is almost a surprise. When people ask me, what are the themes you want to grapple with on this one? I have no idea until the record's finished.

When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.

I guess what people forget sometimes is that when I write songs, I write them sometimes in about 20 minutes.

How long before my dignity is reclaimed?

Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.
