I'm a chick for sure.

[When] you're a writer, you know that a lot of times you have to sneak up on yourself in order to achieve what you want to achieve, and sometimes you don't even know what it is until you've done it.

I do like touring but my life sort of starts to fall apart under it after a certain point. So you just have to stop. And it's hard to.

That's the main work that I've done in my life - really wanting to get past that gender trap where there's a certain nudity in poetry. It's not about showing my soul, it's about observations.

Generally I try to read anything but indie rock journalism or anything about music at all, especially in the summer.

I have an identity crisis which is not resolved because I'm a dual citizen. My whole family is American, and I was born in India but I was raised in Canada. But all my extended family is American, I've held an American passport and I've spent my whole adult life in between New York and LA. So I feel like an American... and I also feel like a Canadian! I wish more people were dual citizens and then I wouldn't feel like such a freak.

Until the day we die, our lives are unwritten, which is sometimes a terrifying thought.
