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

First thing, I throw on some jeans, a T-shirt and my Keds sneakers and make coffee. That is actually my favorite time of day. That is when I do my songwriting, when I am in writing mode.

Just because I'm talking about something that might have been a sad or painful situation doesn't mean that I'm sad or tortured 24 hours a day any more than anybody else is.

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

I'd rather play a few nights at the Fillmore than play one night at an arena.

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

Blaze Foley was a genius and a beautiful loser.
