I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.

People think I look odd onstage. But the way I deal with being incredibly nervous is by concentrating really hard.

People don't appreciate music any more. They don't adore it. They don't buy vinyl and just love it. They love their laptops like their best friend, but they don't love a record for its sound quality and its artwork.

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

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

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

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.
