“It’s just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it’s about the music and not because I was on a TV show.”

I’ve had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.

I have a few songs that I’m figuring out and writing. I’m still figuring out the whole concept and how it’s gonna connect to Cry Baby, but I have some ideas, yes.

Cry Baby wasn’t necessarily a baby theme but I understand what they’re saying. So like, Cry Baby is definitely a remaining character throughout all of my albums.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Loving yourself + others is a magically addictive sensation.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

We all have holes, chips and scratches on us but these wear marks represent our journey, our wisdom, our knowledge, our lessons learned, our strength, and our vitality.

I was very vocal about how I wanted to be portrayed on the show, and how I wanted the stage setup to be.

When I create it is the only time the past, present and future all meet me at once.

Found euphoria in the comfort of my own home.

There is a certain level of patience you have to have with yourself to get to the finish line.

No human interaction, just killing dead parts of myself to make room for the new.

The flowers you gave me are rotting and still I refuse to throw them, away.

Just wanna be held once in a Blue Moon.

I’m obsessed with the venue and the people so it’s going to be really fun.The last couple of tours I didn’t have anything like that because of the budget, so I’m super excited because this is really going to bring the album to life.

Love starts inside of you.

Music in movies is all about dissonance and consonance, tension and release.

After every war, there was a significant change in the music, and I can understand how that happened. If you participate in protecting the country, you think you can be part of it, but you come back home and it’s worse than ever.

Men are wary of me because they know, by listening to my music, that a relationship with me will be quite deep.

I listened to a lot of Marvin Gaye and Motown records.

On some nights, I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.

For me, visuals are as important as the music. I just love escapism and giving people something to escape to. To me, that’s what art is.

I try not to date musicians. It’s all I’ve dated. Every guy I’ve dated is a musician. Obviously, it’s not working.

I’d call what I do pop music, but it’s folky and electronic and it doesn’t really sound like much else.
