the battle's in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down, if you said you'd rather love than fight.

I'm so lucky that I get to write my own music and write my own stories, so every single time I look down in the audience and I see somebody singing the words back to me, it makes it all worth it.

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that's powerful.

There's room for role models who make mistakes.

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.

Even if you're happy with the life you've chosen, you're still curious about the other options.

My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style.
