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

I take a situation, analyse it, break it down, put it in the form I want it to be in, and then I toss it away. Let somebody else go deal with it.

I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it.

I knew that because of who I am, and the situation I'm in, that I'd attract more critics than your average person, and that was a little intimidating, but I wanted to get out there and pay my dues.

I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out.

When I'm doing interviews, I'm doing interviews, and when I am writing, I'm writing. I sit there with a musician and I write. It's the same process since I started writing in my twenties. I like to come in and leave with a finished song.

I've been through a lot of stuff.
