A lot of the songs are pretty unmasked. If you listen to "As Cool As I Am," it's not all that different from what you were hearing from Ani DiFranco and some of the other indie women artists of the time. It was still in that context, still seen as folk music.

...we're all in a soup of trying to live by words, and trying to live by poetry. It's both humbling, and really flattering to know that my words are part of all that.

I just think the reassurance and the steadiness and the hands-on kindness can make a huge difference.

There was a lot of distance between the Dar of The Honesty Room and the Dar of Mortal City, so there was no attempt.

But I benefit from the taxes I pay because I know how to access the benefits of the taxes.

The only word for love is everybody's name.
