I like being friends with other women who are supportive of women. I think that is important.

Developing a relationship with someone you admire, who can encourage you to reach your full potential, is something that everyone can benefit from.

I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do. And then I think a lot of it sort of comes out sitting down with the people I'm co-writing with and talking to them about what I'm going through and what I want to say. It just sort of happens; every song came about in a completely different yet organic way.

When people come up to me and say, 'You made it,' I think, 'But I'm not done yet. Not everyone's heard my music.' I want to be a household name.

Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.

I'm really kind of boring - I'd rather go to bed early and get up early because I really value my time off, my time away from work.

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.
