The Only Reason I Would Write A

As A Child, I Was Always Making Sound; It Was A Compulsion. I Loved To Scream And Yell And Sing; It Freed Me From All The Thoughts In My Head. I Begged For Opera Lessons Because Opera Singing Is The Most Formidable, Most Emotional Way To Use Your Voice.

I Feel Like I Am Alone When I Am In The Presence Of Those I Love. It Is So Freeing And Comfortable, You Become One With Them.

The Only Reason I Would Write A Break-up Song Is Because My Own Problem Of Allowing Myself To Relate To People.

I Started Performing Opera When I Was 10 Years Old. I Didn't Perform As Zola Jesus Until I Was Probably 18.

I Think I'm Making Music That's Pretty Universal.
