I mean, whose songs don't focus on tragedy and loss?

I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.

I feel like it's really kind of a sit-down album, much in the same way I imagine Billie Holiday or someone sitting down in the studio and singing.

What seems conceit, bad manners or cynicism is always a sign of things no ear have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.

I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it.

So few people are truly themselves when they're in the spotlight.

Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.
