Different cultures have different audiences.

I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.

I don't know what folk music means anymore, because the meaning of that just keeps changing.

Go and experience life the way that someone else might experience it. Maybe you'll find meaning in a different corner of your brain. The fact that it changed doesn't negate the fact that it ever mattered.

It's hard to force a relationship with a stranger even if they happen to be someone you happen to share blood with.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.

The family that raised me are awesome people and they are my mother and my father and my brother and my sister. I've never viewed them as these "strangers" that took over. It's never been this crazy, dramatic, Lifetime-movie situation. It's been chill.
