I've always been really, really aware of my insecurities - really, really aware. I never developed that thick skin that keeps you from letting things get to you.

Keeping your emotions all locked up is something that’s unfair to you. When you clearly know how you feel. You should say it.

Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.

I second-guess and overthink and rethink every single thing that I do.

I like organizing things. I like organizing my closets, so that I know where everything is. And and I used to color code it.

Every one of my regrets has produced a song I'm proud of.

My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from.
