I was also just strong and quick - it wasn't hard for me to learn how to dance. I was a natural at it.

I've always been kind of surrounded by music my whole life, so my earliest memories of it were just hearing it in the house.

I think also, obviously, having someone like Lucas [Goodman], and the people around me are very, not gender-driven or any of that, so when we come in as thing, that's what it is. You can work with us or not work with us and I think that has been helpful. I don't try to put myself in a vulnerable position in that way. I won't just sit quietly.

I'm always looking for people to feel connected to me and inspired in their own right.

My mom has kind of been more of the emotional support system. One time I was really feeling all out of it, just dealing with a lot of cooks in the kitchen and adjusting to what it means to be in the music industry, and I called her. One of the first things she said to me was 'You have to be thankful that these people even like you, no one liked me, at all, I was not really accepted for a very long time.'

I think just being a '90s kid - I was not a Backstreet Boys girl, I was definitely into NSYNC.

I tend to write about love because I'm always thinking about it. I think a lot though and struggle with overanalyzing. Way over. That's the thing, I feel like I do that a lot and then finally when I stop thinking, that's when it happens.
