Quote

I learned how to be more theatrical and have more fun, and to take a song and sing it over and over again in different ways, and make it different each time. I'm not just singing the song - it's this thing that's affecting me.

I sometimes write as if I were talking to myself, or to a mirror, or to someone for the last time. There's this element of confrontation.

My family life, my adoption - it could be related to the songs, but I think the songs are deeper than that. They're not just about this experience.

A lot of people ask me if I'm OK. I'm capable of crazy - a lot of people are - but I'm OK.

I guess that in a lot of ways, my writing is more of a character to me than something that I feel personally attached to.
