Ever since I was a little kid I've been so glad to be from America and so glad to live here.

I still like to live in a whimsical world that seems more romantic and fantasy-related because real life seems so hard

When you’re young you just run, but you come back to what you need.

When you say 'control freak' and 'OCD' and 'organized,' that suggests someone who's cold in nature, and I'm just not. Like, I'm really open when it comes to letting people in. But I just like my house to be neat, and I don't like to make big messes that would hurt people.

I had the most magical childhood, running free and going anywhere I wanted to in my head.

Spending a lot of time alone, gave me a lot of time to think. A lot of time to think gave me the time to write songs.

The cool thing about reading is that when you read a short story or you read something that takes your mind and expands where your thoughts can go, that's powerful.
