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?

Living in L.A., I was completely lost - and I enjoyed it.

I speak because I can to anyone I trust enough to listen.

My songs are not pretty. They're what I call optimistic realism.

All my songs come from me because I only seem able to write about myself and my experiences.

Womanhood is something you don't consider until it hits you.

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