I was just dying to get out of my twenties.

My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it's hard to make a story out of it.

People make such a big deal about how people in bands look, especially if you're a girl.

I'm pretty good with languages. I know a bit of French and actually want to live in France some day so that I can get fluent. I think it'd be tragic to go through life only knowing one language.

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

A heart that hurts is a heart that works.

Physically touring is tough on me, not that I am weakling. I lose weight. I can't always find the things I need to keep my strength up. It is very draining physically. It is taxing for my mind and body, but in a good way. It feels healthy in a way to purge things out of my system every night.
