Any mature, responsible adult doesn't run around stomping their feet and screaming 'I'm a mature, responsible, adult.'

I didn't grow up in one place, so I never had a certain mentality. I have some aspects of growing up in Texas, but I also have a lot of East Coast family. I would have loved to grow up on the East Coast.

I don't call myself a singer, I'm a voice, lent to music

The easiest way to not believe your own hype is to not know what people are saying about you.

Don't be afraid of your own power.

With the pay gap in Hollywood, I think it's very easy to say - 'oh, what are they complaining for? They're making millions of dollars.' But by having a woman in the industry do this, it's easier for others to see it.

I love people like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, people who create and write their own stuff - especially when there's just not enough cool, interesting characters out there.
