I want to do a stripped-down album. That style is actually where my heart is - storytelling and just letting the voice and the lyrics talk for themselves. I still want to write the perfect song and sing it in the most honest, undressed way. But I feel like I have to gather more experiences and more layers in my voice. I have to live more to be able to tell this tale. So I'm saving my folk record. I have a feeling nobody will understand it.

I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.

I dove into the craziness and did things that maybe I would think twice about when I get older.

I think I've been a bit misunderstood; the first record was more timid than I wanted it to be. I don't like getting pinned down by sex or how I sound like because it's not who I am or what I want to be.

I relate to hustlers who want to get out of where they are and create something different for themselves.

It would be amazing if people listened to it when they needed shelter; it would be lovely if they didn't spit on it.

After you've been wounded a few times, it's hard to let somebody get that deep again.
