I never really expected to win the hearts of the masses.

My dad was depressed a lot of the time, and there were a lot of things in his life that he never resolved.

Human relations, I mess them up, and they let me down.

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.

I finished 'Beautiful Creature,' and I felt somewhat unfulfilled. I felt like this other side of me needed to be released. Some of the songs I left off the album weren't intense enough to be what I wanted. They weren't hard enough.

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

I see a long lost home in his eyes. He sees a nice hotel in mine.
