“I go with what I like and I generally just cling to things that are pastel and remind me of being a little kid. It’s just what it is right now, but I go through phases.”

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.

Just because I’m an artist doesn’t mean I should be treated differently.

I think the transition between singing covers on a reality show to being able to do my own thing was really exciting. I’m no longer singing covers every second, and people are actually getting to hear my own original music.

I’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.

If you can’t handle a heart like mine, don’t waste your time with me.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I’m very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

Everyone wants to be good but good is only what we’re taught to perceive.

Life boils down to two paths, love and fear. Which will you choose?

I just don’t really get to watch a lot of movies, like recently at least I haven’t been able to but I did watch The Exorcist for the first time ever, recently, and it didn’t scare me like I thought it was gonna scare me.

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change.

When I look at young kids today I just don’t believe it, parents take away the Gameboy and they’re suicidal. They cannot take the pressure.

Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. A grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.

When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.

I didn’t want to be an actress; I never thought of being an actress because, as children, there were three of us – I was the middle child – and we spent our time in church from Sunday morning to Saturday night.

Remember who you are. Don’t compromise for anyone, for any reason. You are a child of the Almighty God. Live that truth.

Grief is a species of idleness.

My goal should never be to raise kids that make me look good. (Oh but how my flesh craves this!) My goal should be to raise kids who love God and spend their lives making His goodness known in their corner of the world.

My goal is not to shove information into your head. It’s to find ways to reignite the curiosity that we all had as children for the natural world. You don’t have to tell a child to explore the backyard.
