I don't think you can spend too much time as an artist believing what other people think.

People hang their hopes on you fitting into their CD collection in way that they have made a space for, but I'm playing a longer game than that.

You been around enough to see that if you think you're it, you better check with me.

I don't always trust my own instincts. It would be nice if someone else would tell me what I should do with my life!

I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

I have my head screwed on right. I haven't been this way in a long time.

I probably had some impact, because everyone keeps telling me that I did. I like to feel like I'm coming out with something to try to make room for other young women to make their art.
