"I really have these dreams of secluding myself in a monastery for years and being silent and eating brown rice and doing nothing else. That appeals to me that life. I just read “Eat, Pray, Love” that Ashram sounds so great to me.You probably would miss some of the world. Probably a nice new bag can make me happy. If I wasn’t developing this lust for nice things, I never had that lust. I find myself wanting to get a fat chunky gold ring. I don’t have any nice jewelry. I want that but at the same time I want to be a monk. "

"As I drove, I thought, “Why am I comfortable only when I’m en-route? Why is it only in the opening between a starting point and a destination that I am at ease? It never fails: My restlessness and fear and longing fly out the window as soon as I hit the gas. I literally leave my troubles behind.”

“I make music because I’m compelled to make music, and I don’t know why. It’s just something I’m born with. I do find it hard to communicate in everyday life, and music has always been a way for me to communicate with people — much easier than talking.”
Juliana interviewed by The Duxbury Reporter ahead of her appearance at the Duxbury Free Library on 22 February.
