When you have the opportunity to make music with great musicians, take it. That's it. That's the only reason I need, really.

I'm supposed to be taking time off. But I'm still writing and I have this Gap advert lined up.

I like to make sure I don't sing songs that are like self hating and feeling sorry for yourself 'cause that's not the kind of legacy I want to leave really. I want people to feel like strength, especially young women.

I never pay a fortune for clothes.

Love #music. It will #love you back.

There is a silver lining to every cloud and there's some awesome songs that have come from some really like bad experiences, but they're great experiences 'cause then I've got some good songs so it's all good for me.

The big, big record labels have so much control. I think too much control that it actually made their artists scared to not do what they were told and then the music suffers because of that dynamic and now there's the power of the download.
