When someone says that I'm angry it's actually a compliment. I have not always been direct with my anger in my relationships, which is part of why I'd write about it in my songs because I had such fear around expressing anger as a woman.

How long before my dignity is reclaimed?

I think some people think I'm a smarty-pants. Some people think I'm intense, some people think I'm super-esoteric and nuts.

And ultimately the people who produce my records, they know that they're here to serve the purpose of me expressing who I am at this period of time and augmenting that or pulling it forward and I love that process.

For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.

...and what it all comes down to is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet.

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