I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.

I can't be the candy queen forever.

I got a fantastic person to work me out and get me into really good shape.

I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.

Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.

I don't want to completely self-sabotage everything that I've got and alienate everyone. But I definitely want to take some chances as I always have.

My religious upbringing was comically strict — even the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner was banned. In our house, no one was allowed to refer to deviled eggs. We had to call them angelic eggs. We were never allowed to swear. I'd get into trouble just for saying 'Hell no'. If you dropped a hammer on your toe in our house you had to say something like 'Jiminy Christmas'. The only music we were allowed to listen to was gospel. No wonder I rebelled.
