(Talks about her grandmother Marjorie Finlay)"She was actually a recording star in Puerto Rico when my mom was growing up. My mom was always stuck sitting backstage somewhere or sitting in a front row, watching a performance her entire childhood. She thought that when her mom stopped performing she was relieved of those duties, but all I wanted to do was sing, ever since I was born, so she's always been backstage.

I keep going back to love when I write songs because I can't figure it out.

I get so excited when a song I wrote that's very personal to me goes No. 1 and I look down and see people singing the words back to me.

I've gotten into this nasty habit of running away from love, but maybe one day I can find the exception to that.

My confidence is easy to shake. I am very well aware of all of my flaws. I am aware of all the insecurities that I have.

A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they're so awesome and they give me great presents.

Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them?
