Imagery is the most important to me when singing stories. I try to paint pictures with the words and decorate with little to no singing....let the song do the work.

I don't talk about my personal life. But the relationships I've had have usually been with other musicians. It's just easier that way.

I don't like modern country music. It's not what I'm into, is all. I'm old-school.

I think a lot of people think that my parents' deaths is why I write such sad songs, but that's not true. Those songs may just be the woman I am.

I feel like records are moments in time, a modern moment that feels right then and it found its way to us then, that minute. We can all try and repeat records we have made that had success, but it's not possible.

My thinking brain never stops my creative brain never stops so they wrestle a lot and get in fights sometimes they fight in the night and keep me up.

Well, I had a record deal since I was 18, and it got me where I am.
