Once a song's out there, it's no longer mine. And that's the whole purpose of music: to belong to people.

I'm not over the top; I'm not wacky. I'm fairly understated, and that reflects in the way I sing.

Most of my lyrics are little stories about my experiences or those of my friends.

People generally let me be me. People are aware that I'm not someone particularly begging for attention. They hold back a bit with me.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

Move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy.

My musical career was an accident.
