"Janis Joplin was teased and put down all through her growing-up years. In fact, at one point she was voted the 'Ugliest Man on Campus' by the fraternities at her university. The story of her bullying really struck a chord with me, and I wanted to write a song about how that must have felt. It's called Ugly Girl. I try to be an open vessel for a song's emotion to come through, and sometimes, as in that song, the emotion can be overwhelming. It's not about being the best singer or best entertainer; it's about speaking the truth. The truth will always resonate with someone, and it will be like medicine for the soul."
