I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.

I played saxophone and trumpet. Pretty nerdy.

I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money.

I was dating a guy once who spoke rudely to a taxi driver. I got out of the cab and walked home. Treat people with respect. I've waited tables, and that's why I just exceedingly overtip. It's exhausting work.

I've always been loud and obnoxious and sneaking my way into things, and so I feel like I've snuck my way onto the Lollapalooza lineup, and I'm going to sneak my way into whatever else I get to do.

If you listen to my record, I'm just honest about stupid stuff most normal people wouldn't put in a pop song.

What I'm bringing to the pop table is that I'm not pretentious.
