I think I write funny songs that make people kind of, like, stop what they're doing and be like, 'What did you say?' And then it makes them laugh a little bit.
I did some stupid things when I was younger, but I got a lot out of my system. Every time, my mom was waiting there with an 'I told you so.' Moms are usually right. You're wrong if you don't think that they've done what we're doing, because they have.
The music I play and write is all reflective of myself and the experiences in my life. I feel like my whole journey is just collecting stories and songs along the way.
Touring is my favorite part of being a musician. All the places I've traveled and lived affect me in many different ways. Good and bad.
I followed a guy to Denmark. I came home with a broken heart.
I fall in love fast, and I fall out of love even faster.
You have to be nice to everybody, and then people want you to succeed.
I had a beautiful mother and a famous father, and I didn't know where I fit in.
I don't like people who are just takers.
I grew up barefoot, dirty, climbing trees. It made me appreciate things more.
As for relationships, I know nothing. I'm an idiot; I can't get it right.
I flip the turntables. I write a lot from the male perspective, but as a female. That's how I live my life. I can roll with the boys.
I have a really supportive, great group of friends, and we all push each other. They come to my shows, I go to their premieres; it's wonderful.
I have perfected the art of the mean song to make me feel like I have a backbone.
