My overnight success was really 15 years in the making. I'd been writing songs since I was 6 and playing in bands and performing since I was 14.

You tried to hide between the lines of a story never told.

The song "No Fairy Tale" tells my story. Going through the hard things leads to a richer life than just trying to make everything perfect, or worse, pretending things are good when they don't feel right. I've done that more than enough times.

When all the stars were falling, they fell from above, and I thought of hate, and I thought of hate, and then I thought of love.

I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don't mind at all being a name from the '90s.

If you haven't noticed so far, I think sleep is really important.

I have so much joy in my life. I love my husband and kids so much. So much love. I'm also more focused now on spending more time at home and in town instead of going on tour. Because of that nesting, I find that I'm even more into writing and creating.
