I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There’s something really, really fun about that.

I’ll have these internal moments where I’m empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I’m like, “How can I see the best in this situation?” Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.

Clarity Feelings Sometimes
It’s very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don’t mean to say it’s very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that’s my taste in music – my taste in chord progressions and melodies.

One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it’s my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.

I’m into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn’t feel true, I don’t want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that’s why I don’t always fit into the world of performing arts.

I have a music career as well, so I was going to either be an actress or a musician. Then, I did both. But, I was always going to do something creative.

But I also feel like it’s the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don’t see.
