“I’ve been the person who hides behind people and lets everyone else do their thing, and I’ve been content there.”

Hula-hooping. It makes me feel free. My stepsister introduced me to it. I used to have panic attacks all the time, and she hula-hooped to cope with her own anxiety.

Stylistically, things are becoming cooler. People are trying different things and combining genres.

I think that women are afraid to be vulnerable because they think it makes them look weak.

Working with new people can be really hard and nerve-wracking. When you don’t know the person, it’s like being on a blind date.

I have, like, sensory overload problems.

Tired of people telling me how I should have a fucking body. What I should wear on it. How I should act with it. What I should fucking shave off of it.

People are always going to have something to say about you or your body. They will always try to attack you when you’re feeling the most happy or the most yourself you’ve ever been.

My favorite food is hot Cheetos. I could eat those every day.

I do love all types of music. I could be in a session for eight hours, and when I leave, I’ll instinctively go to the radio or put on my favourite songs.

An artist could have a really big relationship, and then they break up, and any song after that, people are automatically going to assume that that song is about that person.

Orange magic in your eyes, on my mind

I’ve always been a writer. I’ve always loved words, ever since I was a kid.

For the first three years, when I was writing, I was doing sessions with a whole bunch of different people all the time every day until I met Lindy Robbins, who kind of mentored me. And then, once you find that, all the pieces come together.

I could make apple pie every single day. You need to be super precise in order for it to be perfect. I’m such a perfectionist that baking is calming for me. I’ve never burnt anything, thank God.

It’s 2016. Men are more vulnerable than ever.

Love is weird.

Women hide their imperfections instead of accepting them as an added charm.

She wore a thousand masks, all to hide her own.

Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.

I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.

We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.

Sometimes the mask we wear is simply just a smile.

I’m interested in the things people try to hide.

For each of us as women, there is a dark place within, where hidden and growing our true spirit rises, beautiful and tough as chestnut stanchions against our nightmare of weakness.
