When I said I was born a feminist, I was born thinking woman are equal to men, if not stronger than men. That's the way I always was.

Happy is the Heart that still feels Pain

When you're writing with someone else it helps you think of things you never would've thought of.

It should be like a driver's license - no one can have an Instagram until they're 18. It's the wild, wild west, the internet.

There's something about having an artistic outlet that is so important to the human mind and development. It's as important as any other subject in school. I think it should be mandatory. It's part of our genetic makeup.

What you see online isn't real. How many likes you get on Instagram doesn't have any bearing on how good of a person you are, how good your heart is. It's all for fun; it shouldn't affect you so deeply.

Sometimes to move forward you have to let go. I figured that out through opening myself up, allowing people into my creative process. It allowed me to write songs that surprised me, and in fact, inspired me.
