I'm very at home working with mythology.

Musically, I always allow myself to jump off of cliffs. At least that's what it feels like to me. Whether that's what it actually sounds like might depend on what the listener brings to the songs.

Inspiration quite frequently arrives as a surprise. The key is being open to it.

The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me, troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.

I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things.

Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
