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.

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

An idealist who couldn't cope becomes cynical.

Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.

When people say, 'Nothing's coming to me,' they usually don't like what's coming to them.

You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.

I mean, I really, really love playing solo. Definitely, it's like a labor of love, it's not a huge career. It's not that successful, but it's something I love so much that I'll do it regardless.
