My best friend recently told me that I was the most passionate person she's ever known. I don't know if that was a compliment or an insult, honestly.

At the end of any really long tour you need to get your head in order.

I refuse to accept Pluto's resignation as a planet.

I write by myself initially. That's the way I've always written, just working on pure thought by myself. Then I bring it to the table with whoever I'm collaborating with.

I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me.

I love folk; that's a big part of my background.

I'm singing from my heart now more than ever. I've gotten a lot braver with my writing.
