radio ive-changed feels
I don't feel like I've changed as much as radio formats have changed.
writing telling-the-truth vulnerable
I personally feel the most vulnerable when I write. That's where I learned to tell the truth when I was young.
writing
I don't exist without writing.
home alaska debt
I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state, you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you.
hard-times bitter compassionate
Hard times make you bitter or make you more compassionate.
loneliness talking secret
The best antidote for loneliness, hopelessness, and fear is vulnerability: sharing your secrets and talking about what shames you, what you fear.
mom want rich
For now I'm just enjoying being a mom. I don't want to be more famous and more rich. I want to be a good mom.
artist anomalies able
Amazingly, I've been sort of an anomaly in the music industry. I feel like I've been able to exist as kind of a throwback artist.
knowing reacting
Most of us don't spend any time knowing ourselves. We just keep reacting.
struggle moving home
My life has been full of struggles - coming from a troubled home, moving out when I was fifteen, ending up homeless by eighteen. The one thing I always knew was being jaded and bitter was equal to letting life win.
fun mean writing
I didn't mean to be a songwriter; I just was writing for fun, you have all day to do it. I was homeless so that's all I had to do.
song serious different
I'm a Gemini and I have a lot of different moods. Sometimes I'm very serious and introspective and pensive, but other times I'm completely goofy and girlie. So, I like my songs to cover all my moods.
doors classic hours
I'm the classic absent-minded professor: I'm very focused on something, and meanwhile, I've left the refrigerator door open for hours.
people
I find you get out of people what you put into them.
