Sisters come before carpet burns and blisters.
I love to live and I live to love.

I really thought I was on the way out. My husband Blake saved my life. Often I don't know what I do, then the next day the memory returns. And then I am engulfed in shame.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it's with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

I'd like to be remembered as someone who wasn't satisfied with just one level of musicianship ... as someone who was a pioneer.
I can't be arsed with game players. I'm more 'I like you, do you like me? Let's go and do something about it.' I'm a very straightforward person like that.
I always wrote poetry and stuff like that, so putting songs together wasn't that spectacular.
