The older I get, the more I realize I'm becoming people's role models and that's freaky to me. That's not what you intend to do when you set out to be a musician, to be a little 14-year-old's role model.

I've never been one to get up on a soapbox and preach. I just live my life the way I live my life.

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.

That sounds really simplistic, but if I'm in an enclosed space, or my apartment, and I live very close to a park - there's something about being outside and being near things that are green.

Being in a room with other people's energy yields such a different result. I love writing by myself still, but there's something amazing about sharing that experience with someone else.

I didn't grow up in a naked household, but nudity was not a taboo thing. My mother was an artist and there were naked sculptures and paintings all over the place.

Maybe I think you're cute and funny. Maybe I wanna do what bunnies do with you, if you know what I mean.
