I love that I can talk to my fans through Twitter, to cut out the middle man. Because I've done interviews where my words have gotten twisted, so it's nice to be able to have things coming straight from me.

You can't knock on opportunity's door and not be ready.

Someone told me something that stuck with me: "You have to envision your life, and then go backwards." I've been living by that motto for a while, so I see where I need to be. Now I'm just backtracking and trying to get back up there.

You know, my sister sings, my brother plays drums in my band. My whole family is a bunch of musicians.

My mother is a singer, my sisters all sing, my uncles are incredible singers and guitar players, so it's just kind of been like my habitat.

Treasure, that is what you are

Don't you love it that Prince doesn't use Twitter? Don't you think he's somewhere on a unicorn?
