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've learnt to hide my tears on stage. They make people uncomfortable.

Being a woman in music and having kids, it's very hard to do both without neglecting one a bit.

I don't like talking about music.

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.

I have a tendency to run after people who are completely unattainable and uninterested and make a complete fool of myself.

I was kind of a misfit, and when my mother died, I had to become an adult, something that I never thought I would ever be.
