I don’t want to bury anything in poetry.

One day when I have a band I will have a band name, but since it’s just me I feel it should just be my name. For me it doesn’t make much sense since the...

I guess I usually write when I’m in a really intense headspace, because it’s my form of self-therapy.

I have this red cardigan that my friend Coco gave me that has holes for thumbs. It’s my cozy sweater. I wear it a lot.

I’m still learning how to be comfortable touring. I haven’t found that balance yet.

I love being domestic: making coffee, just putting on a record, and just sitting, not doing anything. It’s so great.

I’m really out of touch with myself emotionally. I’ve always had a hard time talking about how I feel.

The only thing that’s helped me get through some really hard times was just being able to write and express – it’s very cathartic for me. I’m hoping that, by writing and performing for other...
