I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

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.

I wanted to write songs which I think is a different thing. I wanted to write music that is informed by folk music. The chord progressions are obvious references.

People in San Francisco and the East Bay have shown interest, done interviews, and have come to shows. I guess that the news travels fast out of this island that we are on.

What a woman does is open doors. And it is not a question of locking or unlocking.

The so-called positive press has in some ways been more difficult to swallow than the negative.
