Don't freak out until you know the facts.

You gave me faith to find my dreams, you'll never know just what that means.

Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.

I wanted to die. I had a panic attack.

When I'm writing music, I'm not acting it out - it's all me. I feel that my responsibility is to be truthful about myself, first and foremost. I'm not going to sing things I don't believe in no matter who is benefitting from it.

Now that I have and I'm not a have-not, I've learned how important it is to maintain humility.

You have to set your own boundaries. We all do. You have to self-check. At the same time, the transparency is liberating. It is so much easier than screening every little thing you do and say. There's got to be some fluidity to self-expression without constantly editing things. The older I get, the more confident I feel in that. The filters are just flung away... lets face it, filters interrupt the flow of sincerity. If you're embarrassed about something you've done, then just say it.
