Every song brings back memories, like I remember where I wrote all these songs. 'Universal Heartbeat' was my apartment in New York City. 'My Sister' was at my apartment in Boston. I remember places and I remember what I was thinking when I wrote it.

I've finally learned to love my voice for its uniqueness.

I'm a damaged person, but I have hope and a will to not give up.

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

I like people wanting to know about me.

I can't believe I got a major-label record deal. My music was quirky, and my voice was so odd and high and girlish, it was like a weird novelty act.

A lot of my past is gone from my mind.
