You gotta tell the story the way that it happened to you and the way you experienced it.

Unique and different is the new generation of beautiful… You dont have to be like everybody else. In fact I don’t think you should.

I'm so lucky that my songs are basically my diary put to music.

Let go of people who bring you down, and surround yourself with those who bring out the best in you.

I started making choices based on what I wanted, and didn’t feel like I needed to justify them. If I wanted to cut my hair, I did it. If I wanted to move to New York, I did it. If I wanted to take a spontaneous road trip, I did it. At 24 I decided that my life is enough for me, and I stopped looking for some other piece to complete it.

My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone's singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person.
