envisioned solo
I never envisioned myself as a solo artist; I was always part of a band.
betting won
I've won hundreds at the track, but I'm not betting on the afterlife.
creepy rather slightly
It would be nice to create something that's healing rather than slightly creepy and darkly judgmental!
I used to be a huge collector, and my big thing was stickers.
age people wrote
The Rilo Kiley song 'A Better Son/Daughter' is my most requested song - especially for people who are at the age I was when I wrote it. It's sort of a mid-twenties lament.
guess hard love time tried
I've always tried to get around writing love songs, I guess because I've always had a hard time saying, 'I love you.'
life music sort transcends
I've always just had sort of a dark take on life, I suppose, and hopefully, the music transcends that in a way.
family felt great relationship surrounded
I've always felt lonely, even if I'm in a great relationship or surrounded by my friends and family.
Songs are really interesting in that way. Sometimes, they grow with you. Sometimes, you outgrow them.
side understand until
Sometimes you don't understand what you're going through until you're on the other side of it.
ahead bright itself life rough seems within
Sometimes things feel hopeless. Not always within my own life - but looking outward, it seems like rough times lie ahead of us. The world seems to be kind of caving in on itself in a lot of ways. But I try to look on the bright side.
funny hands jewish los people shows
Sometimes people come to my shows and think I'm a Christian artist, and they put their hands up in the air, like they do. But first of all, I'm a Jewish girl from the Valley, and I'm from Los Angeles. It's funny to be misinterpreted.
children constantly people
When you're in your mid-thirties, the cult of people who have children around you all want you in their cult, and they constantly ask you, 'So when are you going to have a baby?'
happened
When you're in a band, inevitably, someone is siding with someone else, and you're fighting over something that happened in the band five years ago.
