I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn't have any money. I wouldn't want to do that forever.

And all that we built, and all that we breathed And all that we spilled or pulled up like weeds Is piled up in back and it burns irrevocably And we spoke up in turns 'til the silence crept over me.

People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

Lyrics are very different. There is a clear line between that and a poem. Something that has been a source of great excitement and delight for me is this idea that I get to rhyme.

Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.

In high school, we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.
