I love my friends and my past, and it's made me who I am.

I never care personally what people say about me. The music, and the message - this will always be more important to me than people thinking I'm the best.

I'm encouraging you to know what you're worth. And know that no matter who has more money in class, who has more stuff, who has a country house - nobody is worth more than anybody else.

Basically I can't sleep without every single song I'm writing repeating endlessly, but I'm loving it again. Embracing the torture, as I'm assaulted by my own thoughts. Like a locust giving birth to earworms. Eeeeew!

I really wanted to break the mold of what modern touring is right now.

A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.
