If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.

At some point I was hanging around with the Butchies - a band I ended up playing with a lot - and it just brought out this thing in me... and it felt very different from the Indigo Girls.

I'm not really thinking about what I'm talking about or what I'm willing to achieve. I'm just kind of letting it come out, recording it.

I don't typically work that late into the night in a studio, I'm more productive during the day.

But the reality is that we are a folk band.

My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.

The impossibility and hypocrisy of a situation where kids are expected to be honest but are judged and alienated from their community because of it should not escape us.
