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

My mom wouldn't let me sing 'Strawberry Wine' because it had 'wine' in it.

The mall tour was right off of my second record, before it came out. It was very different. I did an acoustic performance every day in a different mall! One interesting thing I remember is playing "My Happy Ending" a lot, and that song was so new that I remember getting emotional when I would play it.

My mom made me go to a Britney Spears concert when I was young. And I was like, 'No, I don't want to!' she was like, 'You're going to be a performer, you need to see other people.'

Punk is like not about the style, its about the music!

I pulled the burden from off my back and tossed it into the wind. And stretched my arms toward the sky and let my life begin.

When I was 2 my mom said she knew I was going to be a singer. I`ve been performing ever since I was a young kid. So I`ve known I wanted to do this for awhile. I always knew in my heart that I`d be singing.
