Folk music is a bunch of fat people.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

It's rare for anyone to value the opinions of a teenage girl.

We don't need to share the same opinions as others, but we need to be respectful.

Look, people are allowed their own opinions and they don't always coincide with yours. As an artist you just have to keep plugging on.

New opinions often appear first as jokes and fancies, then as blasphemies and treason, then as questions open to discussion, and finally as established truths.
