I'm the perfect amount of guarded. I don't reveal too much, and I never reveal who the songs are about. They are real life. People get that. I date a lot of musicians and they do the same thing. People that work with me - who I write about too - they get it. It's my creative outlet, my therapy.

Everybody always says that I'm the girl next door, which makes me think that y'all must have a lot of weird next-door neighbours.

You should know that I lead, not follow

I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.

No matter what size I am I love performing no matter how big or little I am! I feel good.

The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'

I feel like as a generation, we sell ourselves short. I just expected more from us.
