On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.

I was homeless and I was in San Diego and I started singing in a local coffee shop and people started coming to hear me sing.

My hands are small, but they're not yours, they are my own... I am never broken.

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.

I want love to be simple. I want to trust without thinking. I want to be generous with my affection and patience and love unconditionally. It is easier to love a person with their flaws than to weed through them. I want to love the whole person, not parts; and this is how I want to be loved.

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.

If I could tell the world just one thing, it would be that we are all ok. And not to worry because worry is wasteful and useless in times like these.
