I sit down and draw from my lyric book. I sit down and start looking through it and see if there is anything that strikes me that I've written.

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.

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.

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

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

When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.

I think the musicians I play with solo do a certain thing that the musicians we play with with the Indigo Girls don't do. It's just a different thing. And it sort of steers my writing in some ways.
