Honestly, live is my favorite way of performing. Every show is a completely different energy.

I grew up going to musicals with my mom here in New York, going to Broadway. I used to be in musicals in high school.

I did jazz dance for a few years.

My mom used to ask me when I was gonna write a happy song. I still tell her that it's when I start to write really happy-sounding songs that everyone needs to start worrying.

Now I'm starting to understand what the kind of power is. It has been healing for me, and very therapeutic even today. It's one of the reasons why I went back to school to study psychology and mental health, was to understand why that is.

When you get home after being gone for a month or two, time moves on without you. You're scrambling to catch up with the people. Some friends and family understand, but then there are others who just think that you can't find enough time in your life for them.

I'm getting bored performing the same songs over and over. Songwriting comes and goes.
