I stand firm behind the belief that, for me, songwriting isn't something that I do or command, it happens to me. I can either choose to stop and acknowledge it, or put it off and hope that it won't fade away. 'That Wasn't Me' is no exception - it came together more quickly than any other song I have ever constructed on my own.

Sometimes seeming happy can be self-destructive even when you're sane.

When I was younger, I was always running into other girls involved in music. When I was about 14 or 15, one of my friend's dads was an Elvis impersonator and asked us to sing backups at a rehearsal. I did well and was hired. Did that for about two years.

All of these lines across my face, tell you the story of who I am. So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am.

You can't change people, but most importantly, unless you're their momma, you don't even know what's best for them.

I feel like a lot of the singer-songwriters in my genre and in my generation have gotten more and more snooty about covering other people's songs. They believe that creativity is the intersect of expression.

People sing each other's songs and they cultivate standards. That's the reason why we have folk music and folk stories. History is told through song.
