The Beginning of Survival is my best album. I am very proud of it, and I am surprised at it, too. I thought some of Travelogue was a little heavy, but I don't think this is heavy.

Fly silly sea bird, no dreams can possess you, no voices can blame you for sun on your wings.

When I began experimenting, people weren't ready for it. Once it's in its second and third generational stages, people can accept it.

When the spirit of child's play enters into the creative process, it's a wonderful force and something to be nurtured.

I am a woman of heart and mind, looking for affection and respect, a little passion.

At the point where I'm trying to force something and it's not happening, and I'm getting frustrated with, say, writing a poem, I can go and pick up the brushes and start painting. At the point where the painting seems to not be going anywhere, I go and pick up the guitar.

The most important thing is to write in your own blood. I bare intimate feelings because people should know how other people feel.
