You know, people always ask me how I describe my music. First of all I tell them that's their job and then that also one day I hope to have things referred to as Martha Wainwright -esque.

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.

I don't like talking about music.

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 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.

It can often happen that motherhood can really stop a lot of women in their tracks and I wanted to try and keep working through that as much as I could.

I play in bars all the time in the States, so I'm kind of used to it. I've just got off the road with the family in Australia, and I enjoyed it but it feels really good to be getting back to doing this stuff.
