There's a real sense of desperation when you grow up in poverty.

I'm a very emotional person.

You can make bad choices and find yourself in a downward spiral or you can find something that gets you out of it.

I don't like myself, and I don't like to be looked at.

Every song asks to be sung in a different way.

When I think of folk music, I think of topical songs. And I don't write topical songs.

I'm very uncomfortable in my own skin.
