I think that's always very valuable: to keep the mind open to receiving all sorts of information, which can then be used in my work, but also just as a human being.

I'm finding my way, and I make mistakes.

I feel like the actual, the most beautiful thing about a song is that it is something that goes out there in the universe and people use it in the way that they need it in their lives.

Being a recording artist and having thousands of people listening to your music and singing your songs, and paying for it? It feels great!

I'm a visual artist myself and always have been so it's very natural for me to be very concerned with presentation, whether it's artwork or onstage.

I make tiny wooden people with bits of hair. Puppets and things like that.
