I'm familiar with that feeling of silence that comes with a very imminent catastrophe, when you know you have absolutely no control over a situation.

The idea that we're somehow centrally important to the planet's existence is pretty comical - although I'd like us to be.

I was regularly advised not to go into music, that I should give up that foolish dream.

What in the world would I sing for if I had it all?

My voice is soft, but oh, my heart roars!

If I find something I like, I'll chase it and see what comes out the other side. Once a song gets momentum and gets away from you, that's a good sign.

How we can stay faithful to the people that have supported us from the beginning is a thought in my mind. I always want to keep that part of it alive.
