I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice. I get more than my share of compliments as I walk through my daily life. I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.

i know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky. But why can't it be mine?

It's fun singing with other people who are really good singers. There's something kind of poignant about braiding a couple vocals.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how to say things. I'm a little exhausted by the process.
