In real life, I'm such a dorky, happy person. I express myself in three ways: I talk a lot, I write songs and I get tattoos.

You need to love yourself and be yourself one hundred percent before you can actually love someone else.

I try to get through emotional pain and not go around it, it always ends sooner that way. I also use chocolate.

My earliest memories as a child are listening to Beatles records, and they are a big part of how I've learned to write pop songs.

Yes, my first memory of singing, in general, was of a Christmas song. And then listening to Christmas music was really the first music I was ever connected to.

Music has been my everything since day one. It's been my shoulder to cry on, my rock and my best friend.

It felt very natural to me to write a Christmas song, but at the same time I had to really put all sorts of pressure aside and just let the creativity flow and see what came out.
