I have a car. I have a steady job. I have a business, and I have to make serious decisions.

Everybody hurts some days. It's okay to be afraid. Everybody hurts, everybody screams. Everybody feels this way.

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.

Whenever I'm done with an album cycle, I still wanna write music. If I'm bored when I'm at home, which never happens, my first instinct is to go to the piano and bang something out.

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

I think because I was brought up in a Christian home, I was kind of careful not to swear in my lyrics.

I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.
