Yoga makes me feel like I can do anything.

I'm able to laugh now, because I've gone through a lot of mental and physical therapy to heal over the years, my music's been wonderful for me. But I was a shell of my former self at one point. I was not myself. To be fair, I was about 19, so ... I went to Catholic school and all this crazy stuff happened, and I was going, 'Oh, is this just the way adults are?' I was very naive.

You can be whoever you choose to become in the future, just do it. Just see it and visualize it and every day of your life project that about yourself.

If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light

I've been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don't have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.

When I wake up in the morning, I feel just like any other insecure 24-year-old girl.
