Music is the first thing I ever cared greatly about. I've been singing and writing songs since I was six or seven.
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.
I'm sure that the meaning of the songs that I've written will change for me over the years, the same way that I can't even say what inspired some of the songs that I've been singing for a long time anymore.
I've been writing a lot of songs in twos, songs that are like twins in my mind.
I enjoy singing the songs a certain way, but I don't even know how the writing even began. To me, it's work that is kind of invisible; it's a weird kind of work to have because you're not working, but it's not not work. Formulating your thoughts and making a melody that's catchy enough for people to listen to what you're saying is really hard!
I'm letting the songs breathe and change and become what they are without force.
I know it sounds so lame, but the songs are like my children.
I don't believe people when they say their songs have nothing to do with their personal life.
I'd rather people interpret the songs and get whatever they can out of them instead of thinking about me crying in a room with a guitar.
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.
