I didn't start writing songs, honestly, until I started making my album. I was always doing poetry, but I never thought I could write songs. I discouraged myself and thought it was so hard. But starting this process and learning just what it is to be a songwriter and performer taught me that you don't have to feel discouraged about anything.

I'm a fan of real singers. I just gravitate towards that.

I don't really dance. I don't drink or smoke. Being at parties is very awkward.

There are widows who long for friendly voices and that spirit of anxious concern which speaks of love.

I'm very anxious and kind of dorky and weird, and definitely was that as a kid.

I am keen and anxious for the safety of both the Jews and the Palestinians.
