I wanted to write about relationships. But I didn't feel I had the experience to sing about them in a deep way. Studying psychology helped me out in terms of my understanding. I still look through my old textbooks when I'm in need of inspiration.

My skin is like a map of where my heart has been And I can't hide the marks It's not a negative thing.

Just like the moon, I'll step aside, and let your sun shine while I follow behind.

A lot of my songs are about taking whatever life throws at you and making the most of it.

As a teenager I had friends who had little music studios in their bedrooms and garages. I'd go and play around; very soon, my hobby became a passion.

Music is a very powerful thing. If I'm angry, I can write a song about it, and it seems to make everything okay.

I'm very honest in my music and I'm often asked to explain the lyrics; as an introvert, I find that quite hard. And I always wear high heels on stage, which can be painful.
