Sometimes words come easily and sometimes they don't. Most songs take me twenty minutes to write.

That experience of being in the wild in a place where life initially began for all creatures gave me a overwhelming sense of connection.

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.

The main thing I like to do is have a mix of the '70s glamour and emulate a lot of ladies I love, like, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Donna Summers. I remember thinking that as a young girl, they were so cool and iconic. I missed that!

I'm not looking to be the greatest pop star of all time. I want to be an artist. I want to influence people and I want to get people to think about the world, to think and talk to each other and connect. To challenge one another.

In New York everyone just kind of knows each other.

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