I find myself a fascinating subject.

I don't make money on the road, and so there's less and less incentive for me to do it when I don't have that adolescent desire for whatever it is, glory or fame.

I think the reason I've been able to keep making music is because I'm not married, I don't have kids.

I don't believe songs that try to say everything in a simple slogan.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.

I don't buy a lot when I travel, but when I do, I like to send gifts from wherever I am. It's fun to find the local post office.

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