The most tender place in my heart is for strangers. I know it's unkind, but my own blood is much too dangerous.

Making music makes me feel vulnerable in the best possible way. It gives me a feeling of balance.

If you want to be noticed as a drop of water, why would you move to the ocean?

I always end up working with people that do a really good job, so I'm the only one that I'm worried about disappointing me, not the musicians ever.

I'm not very interesting. Birds are interesting. I could stand there lip-synching all day long, but it would feel funny, and people would be able to tell. I'm not a good actress.

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.
