Like every girl, I felt amazing pressure to look like the popular girls, but no one told me the popular girls were all air brushed in magazines.

I get bored very easily. I have a voracious appetite and I do not feel alive if I'm repeating something I'm good at. So I'm always looking for new challenges.

Words can crush things that are unseen.

Hard times make you bitter or make you more compassionate.

I was turning 20 during my first record. Those decade birthdays always kind of cause me, it seems, to reflect, look back, and then look forward. I just was closing this period of my life where I was living in a car and scrambling my whole life to then signing a six-record deal with Atlantic.

Faith and hope are the antidote. Stay actively involved in manifesting your dreams and the world created will be one we all want to live in.

I love vulnerability. It's what keeps me soft and from becoming emotionally calcified.
