I Am As Constant As A Northern

I'm Irresponsible To My Career In Order To Paint. Because Painting Is Obsessive. I Forget To Eat. I Forget To Sleep.

My Style Of Songwriting Is Influenced By Cinema. I'm A Frustrated Filmmaker. A Fan Once Said To Me, 'girl, You Make Me See Pictures In My Head!' And I Took That As A Great Compliment. That's Exactly My Intention.

I Wanted To Paint In A Folk-artist-y Way. My Heroes Were Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse, And Rembrandt. I Think Picasso Is About As A Modern As I Got. But I Incorporated Things That They Rejected As Well As Movements That Happened Later.

I Always Thought The Women Of Song Don't Get Along, And I Don't Know Why That Is.

My Parents Told Me I'd Point To A Bed Of Flowers And Say 'pink. Pretty,' Before I Knew Any Other Words.
