"I do find it easy to write songs about heartbreak; it comes really naturally to me. It was a little bit more difficult for me to break my mould and tackle different subjects.

Writing about the personal stuff was a little difficult because I'd worry about who would read it and who would be offended by it."

-- Marissa Nadler
