When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

I love to listen to pop music and I admire people who do that, but I don't think I would ever be a very good pop star. I always leave that singing voice for the shower! I wouldn't put it out in the world!

I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.

I think maybe because of the kind of music I sing, people want to believe you're a diva. They can't believe after eight years, and eight albums, you're still relatively sane. I feel like they almost want me to throw something at somebody.

A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
