You would never catch me in a miniskirt.

I like records that flow really well and you don't have to skip around because there's lot of different jumps.

People think I'm really melancholy and romantic and all whispery. I'm not at all. I'm very direct.

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

There was an enormous amount of pressure when my first album took off, and I struggled with the speed of everything and the exhaustion from the constant touring.

In college I had a weekend gig at a restaurant, a solo thing that was the best practice I could have ever had. That's where I learned to coordinate my singing and my piano playing.

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.
