My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.
Working with (new collaborators) and letting people in to try new melodies and new lyrical ideas was very hard.
You're always tellin' me to go out more, Go ahead, get out and see the world, But then I think, why should I? I'd rather stay home and cry.
My mom and dad met at Anaheim High School.
I'd like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I've learned over the years that I'm so disappointed when I can't wear the clothes I want to wear.
It was such a turning point to find that I had a talent and I had something to contribute, somewhere.
Music & Fashion; it all comes from the same place of creativity.
Kingston is so chill. He goes with me everywhere. He's been to every studio in L.A., New York, London. He lives up to his name-total Rasta boy. He gives me a real balance. You can go 100 miles an hour, but you still have to stop to hang out with him.
I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!
Before, I was really passive, all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power, nothing. I don't know that person any more.
My priorities are always going to be my husband and my family now. That's a huge, huge thing.
It's superfun being a mom, but it's hard too.
I'm in a band, and I know exactly who those girls are. I know exactly what goes on backstage. I wish I had a little leash to walk him around.
My mom always said I was the peacemaker in the family. My older brother, Eric, was the leader, the creative one. I was just his puppet.
