I sit down with a guitar player and if there's a situation I feel strongly about, or a guy that I've been thinking about or if I'm mad at a guy, it comes out.

I think I would probably die without my eyeliner, but besides that I'm pretty basic.

My songs aren't bubble gum pop dance songs and I don't have background dancers on every single song.

Actually, I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even sing on their own records and who don't sing live. And that is pathetic.

I don't fight. I don't believe in it.

Every person faces their own unique challenges and you may not always know what others around you are going through.

When things are very real and honest, they don't go away.
