Quote

I just wanted to be a songwriter. I did really not like the sound of my own voice.

I had no desire to be famous; I just wanted to make the greatest music ever made. I didn't want anyone to know who I was.

When we started I wasn't the singer. I was the drunk rhythm guitarist who wrote all these weird songs.

I wanted to make the album I always needed to make. I had to say the things I never could.

If it hadn't been for Johnny Cash, I'd probably have been a Nashville songwriter because that's what I had done for almost five years.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

I'd hate to be a songwriter starting a career today.

Nobody really thought I was going to make it, because I was a musician. I really wasn't a singer.

I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.
