"Probably my two greatest songwriter influences are John Lennon and Joni Mitchell. They were brave—ruthlessly autobiographical. They were eccentric—they braved change when their hearts told them they must—even to the point of losing audience. But look at the legacy of the writing. Recently I’ve performed some John and Joni shows of entirely their catalog to honor their influence on me and the world. Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel were huge for me. Dolly Parton and Bob Marley. Their writing is uniquely them—autobiographical."

"That's why I like Joni Mitchell and John Lennon. Lennon especially is one of my biggest musical heroes, because he was so brutally honest. You can't just be thinking you'll be churning out the hits, just putting them in the cookie cutter and popping them out. You have to be willing to be true to yourself, which is a whole other path," she says.
