I'm in hotel rooms night after night, playing a lot of the same venues as my dad and carrying the guitar that used to be his. We're the same person. I don't know if he realises how much of a legacy he has left to his children.

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've always had a tendency to push the envelope as far as it can go without hurting someone's feelings.

I'm not very prolific. I'm not good at sitting down as an artist and saying 'Okay, I need to put in my four hours today.'

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 think my mother was always worried about me when she was alive.

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.
