Unless I really loved it and felt really passionate about it, I would just kind of abort the song and start a new one.

My parents offered me the idea of ceilinglessness. There was no limit in terms of what was possible; no messages sent to me to say that I couldn't do anything.

It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.

I could get away with not taking care of myself as a bachelorette but as a mom I can't.

I would not have discredited every one of their compliments. It was your approval I wanted, your congratulations.

If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.

Long hair is a security blanket for me. I cut it short a few years ago and I really never want to do that again. When I do cut it, I cut it myself.
