When I was younger, definitely getting people to listen to me and believe in me. I think it's hard when you're a young girl in a record label full of male urban artists, which is definitely what Atlantic Records was and still is. Also, getting people to trust a young, female pop star that doesn't just want to be puppeteered was definitely a challenge for me.

[My mom] worries about me going and taking drugs, whereas my dad advises me on what drugs to take and what ones not to take. So, they're very different.

Live in the moment. Feel everything you want to feel. And maybe have a couple of drinks if you're nervous, I guess.

I can't stand to hear my own voice. If one of my songs comes on in a café, I'll run out right away and come back with the police.

A lot of females are openly discussing their experiences as women in the music industry.

I always look at my favourite photographs or favourite movies by James Bidgood or Sofia Coppola before I write my songs - they put me in the right frame of mind.

I feel like the worst fashion moments of the '90s were kind of the best.
