Yes. But when I was a kid I didn’t want to just be a singer — I wanted to be a singing chiropractor. My little brother and I both had bad allergies, so we went the chiropractor and she tested us and put us on herbs. She was an alternative chiropractor, so I thought, "I'll be the singing chiropractor. And I'll heal people."

I started out writing poetry — I filled books and books, and then I just began singing my poems. I still write almost every day — my journal is just filled with pages. Sometimes I am like, "Oh, that would be a great lyric," but it’s mostly just poetry. Maybe one day I’ll do a book. Songs kind of just hit me — a lot of them are when I’m driving — the melodies and lyrics just come and I’ll have to pull over and say it into a tape recorder. I also write a lot of songs with another writer. You definitely get shy at first, pouring your heart out with your journal in front of you, but it’s such a wonderful relationship to have with someone. It’s like you are giving birth to this little song together.
