I feel like my job is to make impact, spread love, tell great stories, inspire people, that's what I am going to do.

I never went through a period where I didn't want to play music. I've always loved it and it's always been a huge part of my life.

I would tell myself, "Love yourself and don't be afraid to take risks." I was often afraid to take risks, socially, because I was young and a little more shy and still figuring out who I wanted to be. Sometimes I look back and think, "I should have just been bolder and more confident."

I was in an a cappella group in school, so it particularly helped me keep my piano chops up.

Women are dealing with the same thing: they're dealing with expectations about how they're supposed to look and how they're supposed to interact with men. I think we're all trying to figure it all out, especially when we're teenagers, but I think the key is to listen and empathize with one another.

Sometimes success is just limited to festival circuit.

I think it's not enough for us to extend the hand of love. I think it's important that that goes both ways. It's important also that we look at policies we need to change as well.
