I'm super-fortunate to have any fans still.

I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.

I'd done recordings, little demos, since I was in college, which I used to get gigs. But I never thought I'd have a record label.

I'm not planning to jump off a bridge with no bungee.

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

Anyone can look pretty with hair and make-up.

The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
