I love being in the studio. It's really great. I like it a lot. But of course, I like performing more. But when I'm in the studio mode, it's cool. I like to really focus on it.
I only toured for three months. As soon as I got off [tour], I was just dying to start recording, because it was on my mind: 'I've got to make another record now.' And I was totally excited.
I wrote about what I was going through at the time.

Whatever. Everyone mispronounces my name. And, like, David Bowie was big before I was born, right?
I would describe my music and my sound as… Avril Lavigne!
There's only one thing left here to say. Love's never too late...
I appreciate everything that I have, versus taking it for granted.
