I like being a storyteller. I'm bored with myself; I like to write about others. I have a lot of names in my songs: Karen, Margaret, Mary Kay. Even if it's about me, I want to put it through someone else. The music is the soundtrack to the story.

It's my love of music, eclectic-ness, and the music that I heard my entire life that seeps in. That's what you're hearing.
