I've always been interested in how fast-moving our identity is and that I've never been able to pin down who I truly am. That inspires me to write, because I feel like that cements me a bit, in that I find my identity in being an artist.

Everyone gets dumped and everyone gets hurt and there's karma to love in regards to what you've done to other people.

You can’t have peace without a war.

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

When you are with the wrong person, who doesn't really love you, all you want is to be adored. It makes you more inward and needy. Gross.

I think I actually did write about love because I kind of had a fear of it, like we all do, nobody wants to get hurt.

I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.
