You can draw inspiration from anything. If you're a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you're casually talking to says something that makes you so mad - you can create an entire scenario around that.

I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.

For some reason, I'm really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs.

I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.

I'm not really that girl who dreams about her wedding day.

If I had to give my younger self some advice, I think it would be that you have to laugh at things-things that scare you, things that intimidate you, things that hurt you, When you're humiliated, when you're rejected, you have to be able to take these bad experiences you have and turn them into a great dinner party joke.

Just because as human beings, what we can't have is what we reply in our head over and over again before we go to sleep.
