I've never been an all-black girl. I like pinks and blues and greens. If you come over to my closet, you'll be able to find a rainbow of things to wear.

I don't have any desire to rebel and be something totally different from what I am.

I went to a Canadian college for performing arts and then I auditioned for Canadian Idol. That honestly was my golden ticket.

I like when the song starts to take over and you feel like you have to dance more than write.

There's been a progression in my sound.

I have a couple of girlfriends who've told me some horror stories but I've never had a really terrible kiss before.

I always write what feels really true and honest and me.
