Everyone on the bus can laugh at me, and I'll be like, 'Screw you guys: I look good!'

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.

Honestly I just wear what I like. You know why? 'Cause I can, I'm a rock star.

The way that I've always gone about making music, the rule of thumb, has just been to make what I love.

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

Christina Aguilera's 'Stripped' had a lot of good songs. It's my range, so I use it to warm up a lot.

When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone.
