DTM: I was with someone (at your SXSW show) who is a pretty long time artist manager. He turns to me and says, "I love the music, but why does she spend so much time that she doesn't play guitar very well and that she doesn't write songs very well! So is that just like a persona or does she believe that?" pronoun: I don't see it as negative. I think that's the weird part. I'm not saying, "It's bad that I'm bad at guitar." I think it's inspirational. I kinda want to get better so I don't get nervous on stage. I say, "If you think you can't make a song with two chords, you're wrong 'cause I did! I don't know how to play any of these very well and that means anyone can do it." LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW
