I think the most challenging part of being a performer is just making sure that people know that when you get up there every night, it's unique and that you care.

I've always had a bazillion songs in my archive, but I want to play people stuff they know. Now that I have two albums' worth of material, that gives me freedom to compose a set that's more well-balanced and build a show rather than just a recital of some songs.

I think just being on 'One Tree Hill' has given me a lot of confidence.

I consider myself a songwriter before anything else. The fact that I have been able to write both of my records and establishing myself as a songwriter is super-important to me. Some people have that gift, where they can take on anything and make people believe it. I like to do a song from personal experience.

I knew that going on 'One Tree Hill' was going to be an incredible vehicle for the record. What is amazing about it is that my role on the show is, you know, basically playing a musician, and all the songs she plays are off my record.

I can lick my elbow. I know that's supposed to be impossible, but I can do it!

I am kind of majoring in bull shitting.
