Iowans are super talkative, like me. I'm very talkative. I'm very curious about strangers.

You need to get out of your comfort zone, return to the Midwest, see some family, and, as cheesy as it sounds, work the land - plant some trees, maybe take up watercolor.

Whether I'm a hero or a zero doesn't really matter. It's all perception.

For a long time I wanted to be special and to stick out amongst the crowd. Something I yearn for now is to be one of many.

[My ideal] is being able to be outdoors, have a labor intensive life, and then have this other life, where I hop on a plane and go sing to people in Norway.

I'm strong and I can do things that scare me. I can drive in the snow even though it terrifies me. I'm doing it all alone, I don't have a boyfriend, it was like, "I can do this."

I keep re-watching Friends. It's so dumb. There's so much good TV and I'm really into all of it.
