मेरे लिए, जितना ज़्यादा मैं जीती हूँ, उतना ही ज़्यादा मुझे लिखने की ज़रूरत महसूस होती है। जितना ज़्यादा मैं खुद को सचमुच जीने, अनुभवों से गुजरने और अपने कम्फर्ट जोन से बाहर निकलने के लिए प्रेरित करती हूँ, मेरे गाने उतने ही सहजता से बहने लगते हैं।
For me, the more I live, the more I need to write. The more I push myself to really live and really experience things and step outside of my comfort zone, the more the songs are allowed to flow.

मुझे लगता है कि मैं एक ऐसी दुनिया से बाहर आ रही हूँ जहाँ मैं अपने अंदर काल्पनिक दुनिया बनाया करती थी जो सच नहीं थीं—और अक्सर खुद से बहुत असंतुष्ट महसूस करती थी—और अब बचपन के बाद पहली बार अपनी ज़िंदगी को हकीकत में जी रही हूँ, और उस सच्चाई के साथ जीते हुए, आज मैं जहाँ हूँ उसकी कद्र करना सीख रही हूँ।
I feel like I'm moving from a world where I was creating fantasies that weren't real inside - and very often feeling really dissatisfied - to now living in reality for the first time in my life since I was a kid, and learning to appreciate where I am now while actually sitting with that reality.

मुझे थोड़ा ब्रेक लेना पड़ा और कुछ समय के लिए खुद को रोकना पड़ा, लेकिन जब मैं [गीत-लेखन] पर वापस लौटी, तो मैंने खुद को इसके लिए बहुत, बहुत ज़्यादा भूखा पाया।
I had to take a bit of a break and fast for a while, but then I found myself very, very hungry when I got back to [song-writing].

जब आप यह जान जाते हैं कि आप कुछ नहीं जानते, तो आगे बढ़ना मुश्क़िल नहीं होता।
It's not hard to grow when you know that you just don't know.

मैं अपनी कमियों के साथ तब तक सहज होना चाहती हूँ जब तक कि मुझमें कोई कमी न बचे। मैं अपनी त्वचा में इतना सहज होना चाहती हूँ कि मुझे अपनी किसी भी असहजता को न्याय (आलोचना) के रूप में किसी और पर न थोपना पड़े।
I want to get comfortable with my insecurities until I am no longer insecure. I want to be comfortable in my skin so that I do not need to dump any of my discomfort onto someone else in the form of judgment.

मैं स्टूडियो और स्टेज के बीच एक ताना-बाना बनाए रखना चाहती हूँ, और एक से दूसरे तक ज़्यादा आसानी से बहना चाहती हूँ।
I want to keep a thread between the studio and the stage, and I want to flow more easily from one to the other.

प्यार ने मुझे रोना सिखाया, तो आगे बढ़ो ओौ हौसले! मुझे शर्मीला होना सिखा।
Love taught me to cry So come on courage! Teach me to be shy.

काश तुम यह जानने की कभी कोशिश न करो कि क्यों—कभी-कभी बस कोई इंसान मरना चाहता है।
May you be satisfied to never know why-sometimes someone just wants to die.

मेरी आँखें बंद थीं, अब वे खुल चुकी हैं
My eyes were closed, they're open now
My eyes were closed, they're open now
कभी-कभी जिससे आप प्यार करते हैं, उससे थोड़ी दूरी बनानी पड़ती है ताकि यह सीख सकें कि उससे दोबारा प्यार कैसे किया जाता है।
Sometimes you have to step away from what you love in order to learn how to love it again.

पत्थरों ने मुझे उड़ना सिखाया, प्यार ने मुझे झूठ बोलना सिखाया और ज़िंदगी ने मुझे मरना सिखाया, इसलिए जब आप एक तोप के गोले की तरह तैरते हैं, तो गिरना कोई मुश्किल काम नहीं होता।
Stones taught me to fly Love taught me to lie And life taught me to die So it's not hard to fall When you float like a cannonball.

मैं जो गाने लिख रही थी, उनके बोल या भावनाएँ अब भी मेरी असली अनुभूतियों से मेल नहीं खा रहे थे। वह मेरे अंदर से निकल रही पुरानी, नकारात्मक ऊर्जा थी, लेकिन उन सबका बाहर आना ज़रूरी था ताकि मैं उन गानों को कूड़ेदान में फेंक सकूं। और तभी मैं नए गानों को बाहर ला पाई।
The songs I was writing still had lyrics or sentiments that didn't match what I was feeling. It was old, negative energy coming out of me still, but it needed to all get out so I could trash those songs and put them in the bin. And then I was able to let the new songs out.

वे मेरे काम को 'रेडियो के अनुकूल' बनाना चाहते थे। मैं एक ऐसे दौर में भी थी जहाँ मैं किसी समझौते के दबाव में थी। मैं बहुत छोटी थी और शायद ऐसा इसलिए है क्योंकि मैं आयरिश हूँ—वहाँ एक अपराध-बोध होता है कि जब रिकॉर्ड कंपनी आपको बहुत सारा पैसा देती है, तो आप खुद को बाध्य महसूस करते हैं।
They wanted to 'radiofy' what I was doing. I was also in a position where I was compromised. I was much younger and maybe it is because I am Irish but there was a guilt factor when the record company pays you a lot of money, you feel obliged.

जब मैं आइसलैंड जैसी किसी जगह पर होती हूँ, तो मैं खुद को थोड़ा समय देती हूँ ताकि रचनात्मक रूप से कुछ समय के लिए दूसरे रास्तों पर भटक सकूँ और देख सकूँ कि मेरे सामने क्या आता है।
When I'm in a place like Iceland, I allow myself to take a little more time to divert off onto other paths creatively for a while and see what comes to me.

जब आप रात को सोने जाते हैं, तो आपको सात या आठ घंटे की नींद मिलती है। मुझे काफ़ी नींद मिल चुकी है। मैं आराम कर चुकी हूँ, और बात बस इतनी सी है। मैं अब यह करना चाहती हूँ। मैं तीन साल पहले ऐसा नहीं करना चाहती थी। मैं सही समय आने का इंतज़ार कर रही थी। मैं अपने गिटार के साथ दोबारा प्यार में पड़ना चाहती थी, और अपने गिटार के साथ वैसे ही वक्त बिताना चाहती थी जैसे किसी दोस्त के साथ बिताते हैं।
When you go to bed at night, you get seven or eight hours of sleep. I've had enough sleep. I've rested, and it's as simple as that. I want to do it now. I didn't want to three years ago. I was waiting until it felt right. I wanted to get back to falling in love with my guitar again, and hanging out with my guitar like I would a friend.
