Fear. People are afraid of talking about their fears and insecurities. They're afraid of expressing emotion beyond anger, dominance, or power, and they're afraid of getting in touch with their feminine side.

I have a structured songwriting process. I start with the music and try to come up with musical ideas, then the melody, then the hook, and the lyrics come last. Some people start with the lyrics first because they know what they want to talk about and they just write a whole bunch of lyrical ideas, but for me the music tells me what to talk about.

I believed in myself and I am a firm believer you have to think the things you want and visualize.

Sometimes there's that perfect moment when the crowd, the music, the energy of the room come together in a way that brings me to tears.

Sometimes success is just limited to festival circuit.

The weirdest thing about Hillary Clinton's email 'scandal' is finding out some of our senators still don't use email.

I always saw myself as a singer-songwriter, a solo-artist, that's why working with other artists was never satisfying for me.
