Families of privilege and money would have harps in their parlors, and their cultured daughters would learn to play. It's got such a strange history. But that wasn't the context that I learned it in, so the inherent friction between that history and the more humanist folk-y history wasn't in my conscience at all.

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.

I don't think I'm abnormal and I think that lets people down.

I have a voice that's obviously untrained - and I think untrainable - so I kind of secreted it away for a long time. Actually, I would write songs with lyrics when I was younger, but I would just sing in my head.

I wasn't interested in writing music that wasn't beautiful for me to listen to.

It broke my heart when I learned the moon had been passing the sun’s light off as its own.
