So acoustic, I don't even need a pick.

One of the things I've really realized over the past number of years is that you can't plan - you really don't know what's going to happen. All the plans I made for myself all turned out really differently in the end, so I just go with it.

I was getting really influenced by some darker, heavier electro stuff, like Crystal Castles. And I was listening to some dub-step elements, so I thought this was going to be the natural progression, taking my soft melodies and my soft voice and marrying it with something a little heavier.

If you do enough things, you're going to eventually narrow it down to the things that really make you happy.

If you're doing what you love, then that's what matters. I am happy, and I am happy where I am. If things go downhill, then I move on to the next, and that's what makes me happy.

Getting too much advice from your partner is a little bit like...it can cause conflict. As much as you're married, you're still an individual and you still have your own self of yourself.

No matter who you are, big or small, female or man, brave or not brave, you can still be empowered and feel strong.
