We definitely set out to make a great 'radio' record. We set out to write great hooky choruses-but with verses that said something.

A good friend just told me that the key to a successful marriage was to argue naked! I'm gonna do that from now on, when that rarely happens.

What no woman or man needs is anyone telling them they are 'too fat' or 'too skinny.' That just adds to the many stereotypes out there about a person's weight.

We live in an epidemic of self-hatred. I see it daily with people coming at me, and they do it to everybody, it's not just me. The hatred is really stemming from them not liking themselves. When you look at it that way, I feel so much empathy and understanding for those people.

No matter which way I move you, that's a powerful thing to be able to do.

The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life.
