I'm obsessed with any kind of floral print.
I was always interested in becoming a midwife. Then, at my own birth, I didn't get the support I'd hoped for, and that changed everything. That's why I became a doula. There's such a need.
Though I always experimented with electronic music in the past, I wasn't invested in that sound. My heart has always been in folk. That's my home.
Penn and I want to write a record together.
One of the expectations growing up was that I'd become a well-known artist.
Being a full-time musician back before I had my son, it was sort of too much 'me' all the time. I felt like a bit of a narcissist, always doing just my art - even though I feel like artists are doing a service as well. I needed something a little more literal, instead of writing music and hoping people enjoyed it.
When I sing, I feel calm.
Growing up, I feel like my character was so much about being a problem-solver and a truth-seeker and always needing to get to the bottom of everything.
I feel like doulas put the ball back in the mom's court. They trust you to normalize the high drama.
I am a sucker for an old pair of Levi's and a worn-out shirt.
I love a jumpsuit, and I have a bunch of them. I'm known for wearing them like a uniform.
Being in a band was so fun and exciting, but I was just kind of focusing more on performance and wasn't really writing the songs - I didn't really think I had a voice.
I didn't set out to write pop hits.
When I met Penn, he was an actor, but he wasn't working, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to go back to work, and I was kind of into that!
I got to play with incredible musicians, but it happened really fast. I couldn't believe it was all happening, and so by the time I was, like 18, 19, I sort of took a break and was just like, 'I'm not ready for this.'
Mark Ronson was a dear friend through family and through growing up in New York, being in that scene, and Mark came to a show and really liked it and asked us to join his record label Allido records, or 'all I do' records, and that was sort of a development deal.
No one listens to CDs anymore. Who even owns a CD? I used to bring my CDs to shows, and it was, like, a guarantee that everyone would buy one. Nope! Not anymore.
I was sort of getting used to being a single mom, maybe a little too used to it.
I got married, and it was a bit of a whirlwind I wasn't expecting for the next phase for Penn and I.
I've always put out EPs because I had a kid and never had the time to tour and do what it takes to support a record.
