I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

I'm not gonna marry somebody for any reason other than the fact that I've fallen in love with them. Period! Period! And they can eat it, if they wanna think any differently!!

I grew up in the South with my father; blues and country, that's always been my core. But I had it in me not to do what was expected. I wanted to find my own footing.

With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare, I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails.

Anybody in the spotlight can get lost in that if they are not careful.

I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility.

I absolutely refuse to bare midriff.
