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

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

I wasn't an only child, but I was the youngest, and no one else in my family played music.

My first ever tour of my music was in the Netherlands. I didn't really have a grace period to grow or anything, people just started booking for me. I feel pretty lucky.

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

I was adopted legally around age three, but it's not like this thing I think about when I wake up every day. I was adopted by my foster parents, so I was comfortable with them. I wasn't in this alien place.

Share yourself with others after you have first spent some time with yourself.
