Nobody was listening when I learned how to play music. But there's something about being on stage, talking to the audience, looking at them and smiling, that's always been difficult for me. I'm a lot more comfortable now, but there are still moments of awkwardness.

I've always loved to read. But sometimes I go for a year without reading, because I forget to.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

Your limitations create your sound.

I think singing comes most naturally for me. Because it's part of your body - it's a natural thing. You can practice all you want but it's part of your body.

I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
