I've spent the first part of my life in the shadow of my family. I'm not going to live in the shadow of my husband.

I have learned to write about things that are personal without objectifying anybody or anything, and that's been an important lesson for me. It's useful not to dump on people while simultaneously expressing a truth or a feeling if it's necessary, without diluting the intensity of the lyric.

If there's one thing that differentiates me from the rest of my family it's the rock element. I hung out with friends who like punk rock a lot. Not getting a big record deal, and having a hard time for years, it means you have to prove yourself and scratch your way up from nothing.

I wanted to be heard myself, which is hard in a household of people who were very showy. It forced me to find myself and define a personality and a way of being different, and that's a thing that's going to help me to survive in a world of many people playing the guitar.

I went to college and stage school, and thought about acting, but... I just don't like actors very much! They're not as fun as musicians.

I always seem to write personal songs; that's always been my go-to thing, to write about what I'm experiencing.

I don't like talking about music.
