My guitar playing has not developed as much as I think it could because I never practice. I only play when I'm writing or recording or when I'm playing on tour. When I'm sitting around at home, I never play.

I've always been a loner, and I've spent most of my life as a single person.

A lot of my past is gone from my mind.

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

Popular culture is filled with girls.

I'm kind of an emotional exhibitionist.

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.
