My style advice to other girls is to be experimental but always have a 'home base' and stick with your comfort style.

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

(Talks about her childhood) I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, PA. It was the most magical fun childhood. We had grape arbours and we would make jam with my mom. My dad would go to work and he'd come home. He'd clean out stalls and fix split-row fences.

I could make the bad guys good for a weekend.

My dad is a Chatty Cathy, the social butterfly; friendly; knows everybody in the whole world by six degrees; tells me that every performance is the greatest he's ever seen, every new outfit is the coolest. Constant cheerleader.

And, honestly, if somebody wants to criticize me for not being a trainwreck, that's fine with me!

But you held your pride like you should've held me
