The past is the past. Don't let it kill you.

I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown.

I try to prepare for everything beyond the extent of preparation.

We leave a piece of ourselves and our magic in a person that we fall in love with.

At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it. I also learned how to needlepoint ironic cross-stitches of rap lyrics and gave them to my friends as presents. I’ll let you decide which is the more important revelation.

I remember auditioning for record labels and having them tell me, 'Well, the country-radio demographic is the thirty-five-year-old female housewife. Give us a song that relates to the thirty-five-year-old female, and we'll talk.'

I'm very aware and very conscious of the path I chose in life, and very aware of the path I didn't choose.
