I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.

I think the voice is an underrated instrument these days and it's easy to make up for lack of ability with effects. I think sometimes people are more wowed with effects than core craftsmanship. Strong voices are not as common as they used to be.

I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing "Misty Mountain Hop" at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I wasn't allowed to play any instruments; I could only be the singer because I was a girl.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

I don't like to read the Internet; I'm not aware of what's going on.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.
