I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where you came from.'

My fans are the best. I mean if there was a war, I think they'd definitely win just because they'd kill them with kindness.

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

When I first started out, I was really attracted to having my own sense of style because I started swing dancing, lindy hop, and jitterbug.

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

I still want to make a pop record. I want to make a more sonically current pop record. I maybe want to make people move a little bit more.
