I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.

I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.

I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry.'

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

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

I love touring - I don't do it as often as I should.

You have to be an ally in a difficult time and not turn on yourself with self-shaming thoughts, which makes facing pain intolerable.
