To do it nationally or internationally, you have to follow a few more rules.

I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.

The songs keep on writing themselves, and I really love them. It's as close as I get to a religion.

We didn't really swallow much of the Jesus thing, but we got the vocab.

I don't have the inclinations that other people seem to have as far as the business is concerned.

Now I know I'll never be numb again. A mother is condemned to feel everything forever. And I'm finally afraid, condemned to fear everything forever. But that makes sense: feel someone else's pain, feel someone else's everything.And he's my baby, so everything's okay.

That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.
