Having listened to great songwriters like James Taylor and Carole King, I felt there was nothing new that was coming out that really represented me and the way I felt. So I started writing my own stuff.

My husband is everything to me and without him it's just not the same.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better.

If you play an instrument, it makes you a better singer. The more you play, the better you sing, the more you sing, the better you play.

I know definitive points in my life and in relationships because of my songs. I write my music so that I'll never be bored of it.
