I needed to carve out my own place and find out what I was going to do

I think any young person who is going into the same field as their parent whose parent has been very successful, it's complicated.And it was complicated for me.

As John Adams said, all democracies will eventually self-destruct. We seem to be doing it very quickly.

As I started writing about loss and grief, I was taking what felt unmanageable and using my songwriting, my sense of poetry and discipline, to try and make it manageable.

I found it was really impossible for me to write songs when I couldn't sing.

For the first time in 23 years I'm enjoying the process of supporting it, of going out and doing shows, and doing the interviews, and doing everything.

The key to change is to let go of fear.
