I lived with my mom in a really small apartment. My bedroom was like in the living room. That's why I still love to sleep on couches now.

I'm discovering my sexual side, and exploring relationships. You know, sensual stuff. And I'm discovering a lot of sides of myself, stuff I've buried. So the music is also therapeutic, to come to terms with things. And I feel now like my head is in the right space.

Everything you want to be, you already are. You're simply on the path to discovering it.

How far you go depends on what you want for yourself, how much you're willing to leave on the floor, and how much you wanna face the fears you have inside of you. It's everything we're all dealing with every day.

When I was younger, my mother and I, we'd have these crazy, crazy fights. Everyone would storm out mad, and the only way that I'd be able to express myself was to write her. We would write letters back and forth for days. When I'm writing, I feel uninterrupted. I write what I'm going through and how I see it.

I'm having an unbelievable time on the road. I am taking the time to explore each new city in a way I never have before.

The smaller you strip things down, the more you depend on the songs and yourself, as opposed to arrangements.
