I was really inspired while I was pregnant and I wrote a whole album for my baby. I wanted to write a kids album that didn't annoy parents. I used The Beatles 'Rocky Raccoon' as sort of a starting place for my writing.

I developed a loyal following. No one knew I was homeless.

Words can crush things that are unseen.

We've made houses for hatred. It's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe.

Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.

Amazingly, I've been sort of an anomaly in the music industry. I feel like I've been able to exist as kind of a throwback artist.

Don't be made useless or idle with despair. Gather yourself around your strength for light does the darkness most fear.
