These past years have been really transitional for me in every aspect - personally, emotionally and professionally. I was excited and nervous and anxious because I literally had nothing to fall back on. This is my own thing, it's all me. I spent a year working on the record and really wanted to spend time on what it was going to represent and how it was going to represent me in this time in my life.

You can have it all without suffering from a meltdown.

I feel like I should be able to be 18 and have the friends that I choose and to have fun and live my life.

The people who put you down don't have to stop you from chasing your dreams. Stand up, and prove them wrong.

If you have three people in your life that you can trust, you can consider yourself the luckiest person in the whole world.

The day I got my first letter from a fan, I felt like I'd been touched by an angel.

Going through a rough break-up? Nothing a little dance party with friends can't ease.
