amount bad behind certain felt hard hear joke known loose onstage people personal
I felt like onstage I have to have a certain amount of anonymity, like, personal anonymity, to feel loose and free. When you're up there with people who've known you for a decade, and you make a bad joke and you hear the cackling behind the drums, it's hard to get lost in the moment.
bad change chose developed figure great health insomnia people ritual sleep talk took women work
Insomnia is a very prevalent issue. It's a women's health issue, and I chose to talk about it because so many people have experienced it to varying degrees. For me, I'm doing great now, but it took a lot of work to figure out how to get back to sleep. I had to change some of my habits. I developed some pretty bad sleep ritual habits.
bad beats glass hop morning room three trip
You can find me at three in the morning in my living room with a glass of wine and really bad '90s trip hop beats blaring from my headphones.
I'm not a religious person by any means. But I'm curious.
I'm not always as disciplined as I should be. I don't sit down and write every day, but I should.
almost best shows
The best shows I play, I almost don't even remember off the stage.
freedom hundred solo sound true whatever wherever
That is the true joy of being a solo artist. I can do whatever I want. I can go wherever I want. I can show up with my guitar and my song, and it can sound a hundred different ways. That's the freedom of being on your own. The flipside is: That's you on the cover. If it sucks, it's your fault.
I was a big fan of 'Days of Our Lives' growing up.
interview learn lessons
I learn lessons with every interview I give.
directly front
I like babies, but not in the front row. I don't want to sing directly to a baby.
love record
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
love songs time
I love kids, but there's always time for them later. You can always adopt; you can have a puppy. The songs are my children.
I'm more in the Stones camp than the Beatles camp.
I never intended to set out and be a singer-songwriter. I just sort of became one because I put out my own record.
