Mark Ryden is my favorite visual artist.

I love Nicoletta Ceccoli , and I love Tim Burton movies. So those are like my biggest inspirations I think.

My favorite performance would definitely be "Toxic," which was my blind audition song. It was the start of it all and it was a song I had been covering before the show, so it was very dear to my heart.

It's very hard to be an artist, on my first album, and I'm like asking for money for a music video for every song - it's so hard to do. You have to pick your battles for sure, but I definitely want - and I've always worked to make it all connect - for all of it to feel cohesive.

I always mention toy sounds when I go into any session.

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

Cry Baby wasn't necessarily a baby theme but I understand what they're saying. So like, Cry Baby is definitely a remaining character throughout all of my albums.
