When I write songs I think about how it makes people feel, and I hope that when it goes into your ears you feel happy too. Not sexy happy but apple pie happy.

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

I've always gravitated naturally towards a little bit of a heavier thing, having been in punk bands and metal bands before I ever got into pop.

It's the coolest feeling signing your record. And it's great when people come to your shows and know the words to the new songs.

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

The best part about getting knocked down is standing back up knowing what you didn't before.

We are built with a passion in our heart for the things that we're meant to do.
