I'm trying to solidify a long-term career, because I have no other skills and no other abilities.

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.

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

I've always been given respect because I'm kind of mannish, and I'm not a great beauty. I've never played the coquette card because I'm no good at it.

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

My childhood definitely revolved around my relationship with my brother. I wanted to be different. I wanted to find my way of being as intriguing and interesting as he was.

It's better to embrace your roots than it is to fight it, because then you're just fighting something that you're not going to win. We're like a band of gypsies, and it makes sense.
