You start to realize that the things that are different about you are the things that make you special. And, as cliche as at that sounds, you realize that if you are lucky enough to have something that is different about you...don't try to hide it. I don't try to blend in anymore, it's all about standing out.

I think I’ve developed this pattern of running away when it comes time to fall in love and stay in a relationship.

If I'm gonna write songs about my exes, they can write songs about me. That's how it works.

I've found that men I've dated who are in the same business can be really competitive. I've found a great group of girlfriends in the same business who aren't competitive, but a few times guys have started comparing careers and it has been... challenging.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

Be yourself and the right people will love you.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.
