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

My voice in combination with the harp - which, by the way, I use because I've played it my entire life, not to make some statement about the harp - somehow has ... coloured people's interpretations of the music and projected an idea of childlike or fairytale quality or innocence. Which sometimes prevents people from listening to the songs the way I would like them to be listened to.

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

I didn't really know a lot of the history when I was younger. I didn't realize that the harp is coded in such a specific way in musical circles. It's kind of this society instrument because of its history as a young woman's parlor instrument.

The way that words fit together is always interesting to me. I love words.

Around eighth grade I decided I wanted to be a composer and that's what I went to college for. Just a few years back, I switched out of composition and into creative writing so I could work with words.

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.
