A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

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.

And I really have done everything that I said I did do. The rest is just a story that somebody else made up.

I am usually always singing about the same god damn person so I will love him forever but you know, it's all good. It's all good!

There's backlash about everything I do.

I'm the gangsta Nancy Sinatra.

In the end, I find my influences or inspirations where I can.
