I like to think that I'm not old yet.

I want to get away from the social vampires in Tucson. The people who have no lives of their own and meet me and know who I am and feel entitled to say negative things. I have good friends here, especially in the bands. But a lot of it is just like high school.

I think I have a lot of empathy for animals and nature in general. Those things just make me comfortable. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, around a lot of animals. I feel for them.

I want the recording process to be a time in my life that I will remember.

I didn't want to be the girl who posed in 'Playboy' and then - by the way - made some music.

I have this typical Ukrainian face. Even people who know my music don't recognize me most of the time, thank God.

I think my songwriting might be a little more on the darker side maybe.
