Lots of people have gone from public housing to do great things in the world and have a tremendous sense of duty to their fellow man because of it.

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.

I personally feel the most vulnerable when I write. That's where I learned to tell the truth when I was young.

I like pressure. If I am not on the edge of failure, I'm not being sufficiently challenged.

Without a band, I'm much more free to improvise.

I'm trying to be in the moment and really enjoy my pregnancy. I feel really lucky.

Words can crush things that are unseen.
