The first song I wrote was the first song I remember thinking, "Well, maybe I can do something here." The very first one. By the second one I knew I could do something.

My name is Luka I live on the second floor. I live upstairs from you, yes, I think you've seen me before.

How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.

Don't make a threat and then not do it.

That said, I've never thought the fact that I'm a woman was important to my work.

I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.

I think that if you have a strong narrative, if the idea of the song can be boiled down to the basics, it won't change that much.
