When a song wants to be written, it will be written.

If I don't have an outlet in which to express myself...throug h songwriting or other mediums...I get a bit jittery.

I think everybody who relates to music is kind of isolated. It's lonely. Everyone who uses the creative side of their brain is that much removed from reality. They are looking for answers wherever they can find them.

I'm the first to admit that I'm still pretty young.

I don't need to sell tons of records, but I want longevity. I want to make music for the rest of my life.

I do so hate to be forced to be anything than other than what I am.

Women are presented with a very narrow aspect of the female narrative. And now we live in a culture and a time where it gets to us very quickly and very young. So how do you maintain in a child that sense of unique identity before they get thrown all that is projected on them?
