I remember my father playing me Same Situation when I was a nipper, and saying how nobody since has done melodies as well as Joni Mitchell. I concur. The thing that most affected me was just her resonance, and that is something she must have been born with.

I love the way you can fall in love with a piece of literature; how words alone can get your heart doing that.

I'd like to make music for as long as I can; it feels like something I need to do.

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

I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.

I find it dull when my heart meets my mind

I feel sometimes that I'm in a constant state of being lost in translation, and I guess that why I write songs.
