I try to write down every song that comes to me, even though I know that every song that comes to me isnt a song that I need to sing.

There are a lot of murder ballads out there, but most of them are about killing the woman. I was like, "We've gotta turn this around!"

When I was a kid, I always wanted to go to Europe, to go to Africa, to go traveling.

I can't believe the ignorance there, so I don't allow it to affect my life, I don't allow it to come into my zone, and it's not in my world, really.

As I try to get around with a guitar, a banjo and a suitcase of high heels and dresses, I treasure that little ukulele.

I create my own reality. And I'm not the only one. My reality is becoming more prominent.

Amalgamation is a good word that I like to use - musically and in every way.
