Everything's been a struggle for me.

At heart I am a librarian, a bird-watcher, a transcendentalist, a gardener, a spinster, a monk.

If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.

My songs are about not knowing who to be and not knowing how to act.

I've seen quite a bit of the world, but I really like Sweden and feel like I could live there some day.

I'd just like to inspire people to be themselves and do what they want and not conform to the rigid guidelines of the music or entertainment business.

When I did have a little bit of commercial success, it really didn't suit my temperament at all. I'm a terrible public person.
