My mother wanted me to understand that as a woman I could do pretty much whatever I wanted to, that I didn't have to use sex or sexuality to define myself.

It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.

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

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.

I fingerpick a lot because I can get more of a range of feeling from the guitar than I can when I bash away with a pick.

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