The records are black boxes for me. Like, if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write.

I have a confidence because my research shows that I should just really trust my instincts.

I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.

My heart beat Beats me senselessly Why's everything Gotta be so intense with me.

I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.

I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change...I can't be the candy queen forever.
