My sister was a twin, and the other baby died in childbirth, and I was three at the time, and I always kind of thought it haunted me. It was a weird thing. My dad was an ob-gyn, and so it was confusing that the other baby didn't come home from the hospital.

I was always so scared to sing in front of people. That was kind of my weird thing.

The weird thing is, I'm very private.

Pitching is always a weird, difficult thing.

The weird thing was that Soft Cell was supposed to have come and gone before I started the album.

In re-reading 'Presumed Innocent,' the one thing that struck me - and I re-read the book four different times in writing 'Innocent,' interested in different things each time - but I did think there were a couple of extra loops in the plot that I probably didn't need. The other thing that sort of amazed me was how discursive the book was.
