I was 21 and homeless - such a broken, lost woman.

I hate the fact you always feel like you have to be going somewhere, like the end destination is to be finished, or to be happy. But the truth is a lot of us are completely lost, and we don’t know, and that is also a state of mind, to not know who you are and where you’re going.

I had to do this album. I tried thinking, "I'm not going to do it." But then I'm sitting there getting all suicidal and depressed, and I just start writing. It's like this inner drive. If I could choose, I would probably be living in the countryside and be fine with that, but I'm not.

I was inspired by [Michelangelo] Antonioni's Red Desert - very big and moody.

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

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

I feel it's so important to have strong women around you.
