I think the Internet really sussed things into perspective. Because twelve years ago, I could spend my days on writing and running my band and touring and making posters and practicing with my band and working on my vocals, but I didn't spend a large pie chart of my time sifting through criticism as well, and nowadays I do, and all female artists do, because to be able to promote your work, you need to live in those spaces.

I get really fantastic results when I just get out of my own way.

The impulse to connect the dots - and to share what you've connected - is the urge that makes you an artist

For most of human history, musicians, artists, they've been part of the community — connectors and openers, not untouchable stars.

The challenge in my life really is keeping the balance between feeling creatively energized and fulfilled without feeling overwhelmed and like Im in the middle of a battlefield.

It’s not easy to ask… asking makes you vulnerable.

The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.
