Suzanne Vega
Image
I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.
Suzanne Vega
Image
I fingerpick a lot because I can get more of a range of feeling from the guitar than I can when I bash away with a pick.
Suzanne Vega

So you eat, you sleep, and then this wonderful child comes out, but you don't feel like you have any control over that process, over her, over her character and who she is.
Suzanne Vega

Girls are crazy and mean. They don't fight fair.
