A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

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

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

I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.

If you can't be psyched about your own thoughts, then how are you supposed to have a meaningful interaction with anyone?

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.
