I am always trying to write.

I don't look at people's expressions, because I still get nervous when I play, especially when I first put the harp up there. I just try to tune - it takes me a half-hour to tune, and I get nervous if I look at anybody when I do it.

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

You should listen to a lot of different music.

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

The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it.

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