I go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.

It was an actual Christmas tree farm. We had, like, 15 acres. It was really fun as a kid. I also spent my summers at the Jersey Shore, on the bay in Stone Harbor. I walked everywhere barefoot. It was just the most amazing, magical way to grow up.

Be good to people. Be good to every single person you come into contact with. My best friends are great musicians. But more than that, they're great people.

My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from.
