I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it

I'm an artist first and foremost. So things are gonna go up and down and sideways and whichever way all through life.

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.

People seemed to think, you get to a certain age or you get married or you, you're comfortable. And so now there's nothing to write about: that angst is gone. The youthful angst. And that just hasn't happened with me.

I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.

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

It's just the more you do it the better you get, or at least that's how I feel in my case. I think it's a combination of confidence and just having done it this long and just learning. I'm always learning. I'm still honing my craft.
