Never get so attached to a poem that you forget truth that lacks lyricism.

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

I never thought people would be mortally offended by the sounds I was making.

I had known that people would probably have strange reactions to my voice, because I have kind of an unwieldy, difficult voice, but I never thought that anybody would have a problem with the harp. I just assumed... C'mon, it's a beautiful instrument.

I didn't sing for years and years, but I started playing harp when I was maybe 9 or 10. I had actually wanted to play for years leading up to that, but no teacher in our little town would take me on as a student, because I was too young.

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.

I played piano for about two years when I was a kid. I didn't play long enough to be really great.
