I put myself into character for my songs.

When I wake you're never there, but when I sleep you're everywhere.

When I'm having a bad day, I pick up my guitar.

My style when I was 17 was very low-key with jeans, T-shirts, and Converse. I was signed to a major record label by then, so I had stylists helping me.

I was drifting away like a drop in the ocean, and now I realize that nothing has been as beautiful as when I saw heaven's skies.

When people ask me if I have a boyfriend, I tell them it’s my guitar because, really, it’s what I love and it’s what takes up all my time.

I was so adamant about proving myself for so long and I've gotten to the point where I don't have to do that as much.
