If people go into music with the idea of competing with other artists, then they're doing it for all the wrong reasons.

Artists are definitely, like, under a sort of microscope of scrutiny more than others.

I don't believe in fairy tales, but I believe in you and me

I definitely like performing to a crowd that's there to see a female hero.

I feel like trouble has followed me from the day I was born.

My dad went to jail for a long time. We lost everything, and the situation never resolved itself. My parents had this sort of passionate, disastrous desire for each other - not ideal to grow up in.

I will never censor myself to please anyone.
