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 put myself into character for my songs.

I was definitely a choir and theater geek.

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

I would love to be in musical theater and be on Broadway. If someone were to offer me a position to do something like that, I wouldnt pass it down. Im a huge fan of musicals and I really want to do that.

There was a moment there when it was getting really bad and everyone was being let go. I was, like, 'Can I get fired, please? Can I move on with my life?'

I think I'm also more open to other writers being present and listening to other opinions, whereas before I was going through my angsty teen years while making records.
