I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.

You're always tellin' me to go out more, Go ahead, get out and see the world, But then I think, why should I? I'd rather stay home and cry.

My husband really loves the red [lipstick], so I keep the red because I want to keep the husband.

I had gotten pregnant with Apollo, and I didn't plan on that - it was just such a beautiful miracle. Four weeks later they called me and, like "Do you want to do The Voice?" It was this incredible opportunity to do something different.

It's interesting to watch where music is going next. Isn't it always rotating? It is so weird how disposable pop music is, even mine. It just goes by so fast.

I'm trying to be present, not thinking and worrying about the past or the future. That's such a waste of time, you know?

My songs are basically my diaries. Some of my best songwriting has come out of time when I've been going through a personal nightmare.
