"Sometimes I can't get out of the character because the story is very intense."

"I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing."
Being
"I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it."
Love
"So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear."
Experience
"There were some things that I found I really enjoyed singing about; like, on the title track, there's this film-noir character of a woman who's sort of losing it in a room."
Character

Change

Experience

Work
"I like to interpret 'Call me a River', as if I'm saying, 'Now you're telling me you love me after all that, and I'm telling you to shove off.' That's my interpretation. But I would never 'say' that because somebody else might interpret the song in another way."
Love
"But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination."
