[on discovering her instrument of choice] I grew up in a really musical family, and along the way I tried to play a lot of different things but never connected with any of them. The piano I liked: my grandmother played and taught me, and I thought, 'Well, this is interesting', but I didn't really connect. Same with bass and guitar, but they didn't do it for me. After high school I moved to San Francisco and I started working in a place called 'BrainWash'. It was a café, laundromat and music venue. And at one point this act started playing, and he had the most gorgeous accordion. I saw it and I was like, 'That is so cool. It's like a piano mixed with a pachinko machine. What the Jesus?'
