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.

In the land of God's and Monsters, I was an angel looking to get f-ked hard.

I found it hard to make friends in school, because I was a cerebral person.

Me and God we don't get along.

They judge me like a picture book, by the colors, like they forgot to read.

I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.
