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

I've been unaware of how people react to the instrument. People have ideas of what a harp is supposed to sound like, and a lot of them are negative ideas.

There's something fundamental to the harp that has retained its appeal my whole life. It's an instrument I am just in love with.

I did spend a year in high school being obsessed with Fleetwood Mac.

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.

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

I have a deep rooted folk sensibility that I can't get away from completely.
