I don't have the vocal range that I'd like to have. That's one of the reasons that I started writing songs. I didn't want to be seen as a singer. I figured if I wrote my own songs, my voice wouldn't be the main focal point.

I don't handle money very well. I tend to be an impulse buyer. I bought my boyfriend — he's now my ex-boyfriend — a pickup truck. We broke up and he still has the truck, but that's okay. I don't mind that.

If you're a dreamer and a romantic, you're going to have a hard time in the world. That's all there is to it. Because it's just a rough, hard world. I try to find bits of joy where I can. I'm trying to find a way to find some peace. I'm almost desperate. I don't want to be miserable the rest of my life, you know.

Part of my melancholy is just the loss of childhood. I can almost remember the day I realized nobody could really take care of me or protect me, that awareness of mortality and being on my own. Nothing's been the same since.

I can't fathom being molded. I have been fanatical about not compromising to the point of paranoia, which is why I'm considered a pain to work with. I was raised to be passionate, and this rebel spirit helped me survive.

I'm drawn to bass players, and I haven't really figured out why. They tend to be more in the background and kind of holding the beat. Sometimes lead-guitar players can be frustrated singer-songwriters. They really want to be in the spotlight. But bass players, they've got that rhythmic thing. That beat, you know? There's something about that rhythm section.
