Acting has always been a passion of mine, so any opportunity that allows me to do that is definitely of interest to me.

I feel the most connected to my art when it comes from my real life and hopefully the audience feels that.

I really try to be aware of the purpose of each song. There are songs on my record that I want people to have sex to, and songs people can listen to when they're pissed off.

You know, so often we think we have each step figured out. And then when one thing doesn't go our way, we begin to question, we being to fear what our next step will be.

[Songwriting is] something that I own - it's my property, it's my music, it's my voice.

I love music, it kind of comes naturally and has always been a part of my world.

I think that this stage in my life is really, for a lot of reasons, pretty incredible. Being a solo artist and trying to take these bold steps on my own.
