I grew up with family who liked to travel and sightsee, so I have this pressure inside me: If I'm in a city and I have enough free time, I'd better go to a museum. I try to see parks, go outside. Or else try to feel really normal like go to Target or a drugstore, or go see a movie.

They rise in the morning, and they sleep in the dark. And even though nobody's looking, she's falling apart.

Summer camp was a place where I felt like myself that wasn't like school. There were no grades, we got to try lots of new things, and I started to play guitar at camp. It was a place for acceptance and learning to be a part of a community, but also learning to be yourself. I want that for all kids, but some kids don't have the opportunity to go to camp. I want to help.

In order to handle my emotional pain I talk to friends about it, I write, I breathe, and most of all, I put it in perspective.

I love playing in Japan! It's always like being in the ancient past and the future at the same time. And the fans sing along to every word.

When I was a kid, for me, the '60s seemed so far away. But I was actually born in the late '60s.

I'm making a record that's half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It's really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals.
