I'm going to have my moody times.
I'm just like everyone. I like to feel togetherness with someone.
I have had to come to terms with wearing glasses.
My approach to recording and all that is pretty organic. It just has to do with all the songs I wrote; go in and record them.
People let their own hang-ups become the obstacles between them and personal happiness.
I have to try different things to see what works best. Other people get impatient with that.
I would worry if I wasn't coming up with ideas, if I wasn't inspired.
I love Emmylou Harris's version of my song, 'Sweet Old World.' Her intonation is great.
I can speak for most songwriters - those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.
I'm not just a doormat. I'm not just being stepped on all over the place. If you look at the bulk of my material, it's about trying to find some strength through that.
It's really about living in your head... just looking out at the world, then going back into your head and tossing around a lot of ideas and coming out with something interesting to say.
I started writing songs, I guess, when I was about 13 or 14, but I didn't know if they were good enough yet or anything.
If you come into success too soon, you'll burn out and be finished before you know it. If you let the maturation process happen naturally, you'll be happier with yourself in the end.
I'm dealing with things as they come along, and I'm talking about it.
There's so many other things to write about than unrequited love.
I write the songs, go in and record them, then I listen to everything and decide how it all fits together.
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I've been spending more time alone than I'd like.
I'm trying to get out of my own way.
I'm trying to learn how to tap into the power of my own being. I know it sounds corny.
I don't mean to complain. I wouldn't trade my life for anything.
