book records labels
I've always had a love for poetry and when I got signed to a record label I thought, 'How odd that I'm doing a record before a book of poetry,'
I've always been a workhorse, and I've been supporting myself since I was 15.
alive fingers touched
I am most alive when I let myself be touched by the fingers of life.
song sleep angel
I wrote the song 'Angels Standing By'... to try and soothe myself - rock myself to sleep, basically - because I was so scared and stressed.
fats needed ifs
I was Renee Zellweger's fat doppelganger. If she ever played in a movie where she needed to be fat, apparently I could be her stunt double.
coffee people singing
I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.
simple light people
I love to be alone with life. I love to study simple things: the light as it filters in a window; the music of a room full of people chatting; a horizon.
comfort found organized
I never found much comfort in overly organized religion of any sort.
touring should
I love touring - I don't do it as often as I should.
bored
I guess I'm a Gemini through and through, but I'm mercurial. I get bored doing the same things.
seductive life-is
Life is seductive, yet so few allow themselves to be seduced.
feelings half alive
I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead.
girl dirty hands
There is a pretty girl on the face of the magazine and all I see is my dirty hands turning the page.
innocence immortality achieve
Through Love and through Beauty, we achieve immortality.
