I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.

I've just always been very aware and careful of everything, so that I can be ready for the perfect opportunities as they come. I don't take anything for granted or wait for anything to come to me.

The past is like a handful of dust. It filters through your fingers, disappearing little by little. I wish, for one day, I could go back. In another life I would do things differently.

There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it's not really appropriate to have anything serious.

Im a good girl at heart who just wants to have fun.

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.

Hollywood is so fake and people need to realize that people are just people, and you, too, don't need to be born into something or have money or have whatever product someone is hawking on you.
