I Don't Like Being Too Looked Up At Or Too Looked Down On. I Prefer Meeting In The Middle To Being Worshipped Or Spat Out.

I Have Always Thought Of Myself As A Painter Derailed By Circumstance.

My Style Of Songwriting Is Influenced By Cinema. I'm A Frustrated Filmmaker. A Fan Once Said To Me, 'girl, You Make Me See Pictures In My Head!' And I Took That As A Great Compliment. That's Exactly My Intention.

When I Was 19 I Went To Art School. I Had Six Months Of Teaching Myself To Play Baritone Ukulele Under My Belt So I Was Sort Of A Novice Folkie... I Was Singing Folk Songs At That Time.

It's In My Stars To Invent; I Was Born On Madame Curie's Birthday. I Have This Need For Originals, For Innovation. That's Why I Like Charlie Parker.
