My mom is a sculptress.

I really don't pay too much attention; I don't go out of my way to read any interviews.

In the past members of my family on both my mother's and father's side have fought in the war, in the first and second World Wars. Unfortunately, they're dead and I wasn't able to speak to them, but that was in our family history too.

I try to see as much dance, theatre and films as I can because all of it feeds me in a way that I need feeding for what I do.

I feel like the actual, the most beautiful thing about a song is that it is something that goes out there in the universe and people use it in the way that they need it in their lives.

You know, two people can say exactly the same words, saying the same story, and it would mean something entirely different.

I always wanted to be an artist. I think I was just waiting on somebody to approve me and be like, "Oh, okay, you should be an artist," you know 'cause it wasn't until I stopped looking for approval that I could actually do it.
