It's very important to have a good song - one where you can strip away all the production and just play it on guitar or at the piano. It has to hold its own. That's why I've put videos online with acoustic versions of my songs, so you can hear them in their original form.

A career is a progression of ups and downs, how you deal with them and how you bounce back.

Sexiness isn't being young, hot and wearing a bikini. It's being powerful and feeling like you belong in your skin and it feels good.

Honestly, if you don’t fit in, then you’re probably doing the right thing.

It doesn't matter if you have something greater to say per say, just enjoy what you're doing.

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.

You don’t have to feel safe to feel unafraid.
