“I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started ...” — St. Vincent Quote

“I was always just kind of obsessed with guitar, even before I started playing.”

“I'm supportive of women, absolutely, and it's so gratifying to have girls come up and say, 'I'm really inspired by your guitar playing.' I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear.”

“I started playing guitar when I was 12 and probably from that age knew that I wanted to make music and make my own music. Playing with other bands like the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens was more like an apprenticeship for me than anything.”

“Love songs just kind of come out very naturally, me being a very romantic person.”

“I probably sound like a broken record every time I do a race, but I always look for the bad. That's just kind of how I work.”

“When I work, I like to just kind of stay quiet, stay to myself. I like to walk around a lot and figure out what's gonna happen in the scene and try to get my head straight.”
