What I lack in style and craft, I can make up for in joy and enthusiasm. I like to be around people who are at ease so I like to think the 25-year-old would find me quite an easy-going late-middle-aged hippie.

My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today.

I put a lot of work into my lyrics. Not all my stuff is meant to be scrutinized, though.

Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.

I may as well do everything as if it’s brand new, and if I start to feel that any of it’s a compromise, then I’ll...I’ll be in Wisconsin.
