I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.

Music is fun. It should be fun. And that's the key, I think. Keep it as the thing you love.

Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.

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

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 just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
