I did a lot of thrift and vintage. I would mix those pieces into some of the more inexpensive items from Express, Gap, Old Navy, and Clothestime.

I'm an emotional person. I love music that moves me and makes the hair on my arms stand up. And I want the same thing in relationships. Either you can keep up or you can't.

This is the city that taught me how to write all of these cool songs. Yeah, you guys definitely need a royalty.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

I think when you put sex and spirituality in the same bottle and shake it up, bad things happen.

I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.

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.
