I have a personal ambition to live my life honestly and honor the true love that I've had and also the people I've had around me.

The thing about me is, coming from an alternative music background and singing for nine years, being basically invisible, I'm so used to writing for myself - and at the end of the day, I do it because I feel like I have to. So when I'm recording or writing, I don't have other people in mind.

I'm always just surprised when someone writes something about me.

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that, because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored, but I had dreams for singing or writing.

It's more about, when I found someone that made me feel really happy, that was so different to the way I'd felt before in my life.

Well, I mean, taking time for your art is taking time for yourself, isn't it?

There's backlash about everything I do.
