My dad claims that he was able to trace us back to the West Virginia Hatfields. When I look at the old pictures, the patriarchs have kind of a physical likeness to some of the men on the father's side of my family. I want it to be true.
I wanted to be a writer since I was a little girl - long before I was a musician and a songwriter.
Some of the songs are so crazy, the words are so crazy... it's hard to believe I was so crazy.

I used to be an over-packer! It took me a while to be smart about what I brought with me. I used to tour with a huge bag full of clothes and another one full of shoes because I wanted to have choices. And I ended up wearing the same pair of shoes all the time!

My music - that's the one area I won't let myself be pushed around. But in other parts of my life, I'm a confused mess.
My whole life was writing, recording and touring over and over again. At some point I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more.
