To write an album takes so much focus and selfish time, to just write and think about your life. For me. Maybe not for other people.

And if I let myself down, appear on stage when I'm not looking my best, it's not fun for me. I just beat myself up about it.

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.

At first it was my brother's songwriting and I was just doing what everyone told me.

The moment you get pregnant, you're tortured by the fear of not doing it well. But I feel at peace with that right now.

I didn't know anything about fashion, growing up in Orange County. I just knew about it through music, how ska bands dressed.

My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.
