I was really sick and I walked outside of the bus and realised; oh no I'm not allowed to be sick. I'm not allowed to say; sorry no I can't pose with you for a photo because I'm sick. I am a super human now, or I have to be one.

The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.

I'm not Buddhist, I'm not Hindu, I'm not Christian, but I still feel like I have a deep connection with God. I pray all the time — for self-control, for humility. There's a lot of gratitude in it. Just saying 'thank you' sometimes is better than asking for things.

I was being musically mentored by a lot of people who were obviously more talented and skilled than I was, and I thought that I would just kind of learn the ropes of songwriting there - like how to do acoustic, country-esque songs, which I like because there's so much story in them.

I came from a lot of intolerance and prejudice, which aren't necessarily healthy to evolve as a human.

I have to be a ginger for 3 weeks.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.
