But looking back, the fact was that I had a couple of big hits too quickly and it was simply too much for an introvert like me to handle.

You make me feel like a candy apple, red and horny.

The river was always there inside of me, but I was very shy. I could see that this was my path. I felt destiny in my own music.

I've left Bethlehem, and I feel free. I've left the girl I was supposed to be, and some day I'll be born.

And she is your holy Mary. And I am so ordinary.

I wanted to be a cheerleader, like my sister was - all the most popular and beautiful girls are cheerleaders and I wanted that, and it demolished this vision of myself. That's when I found the piano, when music saved me; that's when I first attempted to write my own songs.

Far away, to an infinite world I escape. I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid. Sunless days, in my sheltered milkyway. In Saturn's rings I feel no pain.
