The minute I forget to balance reality with the fantasy, I'm going back to Virginia.

My parents wanted me to grow up around horses and open spaces.

Part of the reason that I moved to Los Angeles is that even though my mom introduced me to all kinds of music, I really wanted to work on having my own identify, on being who I am and doing what I do, and seeing how people responded.

I love going into a dive where they have no idea who I am or haven't heard my music and try to win them over.
