I feel New York is too crazy for me, especially when you go to Times Square.

The fact that people are embracing me so well as a new artist and being taken so seriously is something I'm really surprised by.

No matter what I put out, no matter what genre - because I feel like I'm going to experiment with everything - I hope people will see that it's true to me, that it's honest, and nobody ever thinks that I'm inauthentic.

With different scenarios and different places, I think it's easier for me to get inspired; I'm seeing different things.

I feel people are seeing me as a true artist rather than a singer, or an entertainer, or a girl who just makes songs.

I've now learned how to do it, I can write anywhere. I'm the type of person that will get a random idea and then I'll have to write it down and then continue on it. It can be anywhere. It doesn't have to be a set place.

Stay true to who you are, even though that sounds cliché. It's something that's important - doing what feels right for you.
