My work was not embraced for many decades. I would have killed myself if getting embraced affected me so much.

I think that all women are witches, in the sense that a witch is a magical being. Don't be scared of witches, because we are good witches, and you should appreciate our magical power.

When I'm inspired, I jot things down and put them in a pile.

I think of John every day. I do try to block it, but December 8th is not the only day I think of him.

Life keeps getting better. If anything, you start to carry a certain pride in having survived all those years.

Indie music is 'it' now. It's kind of a revolution to the music: 1980s, 1990s music was getting very sanitized; they were complying with the music industry. Music was getting more and more dead in a way. Now, because of the social climate that's very severe, the artists are compelled to start being real. It's really great that indie music is now.
