I think the world likes to pick apart different songs and play doctor with songs sometimes and make them into this big controversial thing.

I was never really attached to a clique, and I wanted to be in all the different groups; I was never a one-group kind of person. I think that's still part of my personality today.

I'd go to the farmers' market in Santa Barbara, and I'd put out my guitar case, and I'd test out these little ditty songs that I would write, and I would get a couple of avocados, a bag of pistachios, and, like, fifteen bucks. That was a lot of money for me.

I really love going to shows where I'm sandwiched between people, and you don't know if the sweat on you is yours or the person's next to you.

I think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.

I'm okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it's fabricated and ill-motived, it's not good.

Be yourself and you can be anything.
