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

My message to anyone who's afraid that they can't write music when they're happy is 'Just trust the passion.' The passion can write a lot of things.

And if I had a preference, it would be to be able to not be in the studio until 4 in the morning.

Europe seems a little softer, but in America it's harsh. In L.A., where I live, it's all about perfectionism.

The ego is a fascinating monster.

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

Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly, one small sideways look and I feel so ungood. Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make me feel the way I thought only my father could.
