If I'm not learning from something that I'm doing, then that means I've done it before. Do something different, even if it's within the same medium.

As time goes by people will see who I am for who I am.

I think it's the first idea I ever got about doing something on my own, because it was the first time I have ever really felt the confidence to do it.

The values my mother taught me were like, if you're going to do something, don't half-ass it. I remember her literally saying that to me. Like the first time I ever heard the term half-ass was coming from my mother's lips. I was probably 8 or 9. If you're going to do something, go ahead and throw 115 percent at it, and if you get 100 percent back, well, there you go - you're perfect.

I'm a perfectionist. I can't help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.

Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.

I'm a mutt as far as music is concerned, because I listen to everything.
