Ugly girls generally don't become successful in music. And it sucks because it's a standard that just exists.

I like performing, but I usually get really sick when I'm on tour, and it's just hard.

From an early age I knew I would be unhappy if I wasn't doing something creative.

My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.

The way that you present yourself visually totally dictates your audience and everything that anyone thinks about you.

I've never lived outside of Canada, so I've been really cold my entire life. Most of my memories are coloured by the fact that I was really cold, just... all the time!

I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!
