I wanted to write a happy song. I didn't know how.

I've done things that can be made fun of. It's not such a bad thing. If I'm going to end up a role model, then I'd rather not end up being the kind of role model that pretends to be perfect, and pretends that she always has the right thing to say. I'm a product of role models that didn't make me feel like I was as good as them.

I'm not used to not having enough time to live with the songs. Usually, if I write something, I live with it for a little while.

Heaven help me for the way I am, save me from these evil deeds before I get them done.

I think I'm better at live shows than I used to be because I'm way more comfortable with the uncomfortable pauses between songs. Now, rather than trying to talk or do a costume change, I'll use those moments for myself. I listen to what other people are playing, or just rest, or dance, even though I don't know how to.

Categories are gibberish to me. I understand - it helps people organize their thoughts. But you can't go too far with it.
