I am very spontaneous when I write; it kind of just comes out. I never think about what I'm going to write about first... it just sort of comes out like word vomit.

I'm very scruffy and messy in the way that I am and always have been.

I always see my songs in colors, and I'm often more inspired by movies and photographs than I am by other songs when I write my music. I'm also inspired by fashion, and I want my music to be a visual painting of what's in my mind.

I am in total silence when I write - I don't even like the sound of the dryer going - I like the quiet.

I write what I see; I paint what I am.

Life happens, and I write about it wherever I am.
