When people disappoint you, it's just as much your responsibility to be aware of it and what you don't want.

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.

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

I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!

I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor.
