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

If life is a performance, and I am not an actor, am I supposed to lie down and die?

I always believe that a person can learn so much by just jumping into something and trying to do it rather than having someone else teach you everything.

In this world, where everything happens so fast, it's hard to sit back, take the time and contemplate.

I could make a whole album with no one else involved at all. It would be a total, unadulterated expression of myself. Because whenever you have others playing on a project, their influence becomes a part of it.

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.

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