There are certain things we come into this world having to defeat. And for me, and I would not be surprised if a lot of women feel this same way, it's this thing of not being 100 percent comfortable with myself.

I feel like the majority of the fear that I had or that we have we hold from other people. They're like people that we trust; they're their fears. All of a sudden we think that they're our fears.

Fear is not a part of my vocabulary, actually, and I think that it's really made me a much smarter, braver for sure, person.

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 think being really connected to a higher power, of having a spirituality to me, has been really good for me and I pray all the time.

I've always expressed myself best through writing. I've gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

For me, doing a show, the excitement of singing live, and the possibility that you're not gonna be perfect - that's the thrill of it.
