We need music the most when we’re feeling things really intensely. I think the most intense times in your life are when you’re either falling in love or losing it

Say it to them. Or say it to yourself in the mirror. Say it in a letter you'll never send or in a book millions might read someday. I think you deserve to look back on your life without a chorus of resounding voices saying 'I could've, but it's too late now.'

But then you make eye contact with someone across the room and it clicks and you’re right there in love again.

I base a lot of decisions on my gut, and going with an independent label was a good one.

My dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he's ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader.

I've had a few semi-toxic relationships, but it's not what I look for when I'm seeing someone.

I've always strived to be successful, not famous.
