My songs are my hookers. I can't worry about how they are going to be treated; they just need to bring home the bacon.

I like interior decorating. I really like to build houses. And landscaping, I like that.

I'm the only girl songwriter that fights for a lot of things. I fight for songwriting fees, which record labels want you to shut up about.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

My dream is to star in an animated movie and to have a toy made after me.

Everyone in my family can sing - my momma can sing, my cousins. I was in the third grade and I was that kid who was so bad in school because I could sing.

I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.
