I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.

I got stood up by the letter Y, he was hanging around with his X.

Songs are kind of alive, I think; once you finish writing them, that doesn't mean that that's it for the song. It can have its own little life, I think.

I love my dad and we have a very good relationship now.

I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

I feel like all the songs are little scenes, different angles, of the feelings that come around something ending.
