My parents always saw me as an artist, and that greatly influenced me

Growing up in the Northwest, I did play in an all-girl band. I snuck into clubs. No one ever questioned or thought twice about it.

I like my lyrics to feel conversational and truthful, as if we're having real talk. I don't really like generic lyrics.

My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz. I love the fairy tale of it. And Gone With the Wind was always one of my favorites because it's so dramatic and stunning.

I first met Hanson over in Japan and they gave me some great advice about the fans and they seem real down to earth. They're great.

If a person ever came to me as a fan and tried to go out on a date, I wouldn't. I've had enough kind of crazy experiences in that department.

Everything I read about me is what I say. The way I've come across is exactly who I am. So far, they haven't skewed it to be one way or another too much.
