My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.
My parents are very quirky, eccentric. They have their own world.
I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.
Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America - especially as a female.
There are times I go out and meet people and flirt, but it's not really appropriate to have anything serious.
I think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.
I consider myself a believer in something much bigger than myself, thank God.
We're technology obsessed. I think it's easier to text than to actually say hi to someone.
They think that I was like Amy Grant, when actually no! The label went bankrupt and maybe sold a couple hundred records and that's about it. I was just trying different things.
My sister travels with me, and she's the person who keeps me in line, whether I like it or not. I trust her and also have a good, healthy fear of her.
When I was younger, I used to be a part of the surfing-and-skateboarding community.
I don't take anything for granted. There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them.
I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.
I think that parents grow up with an idea of what they want their kids to be like - and then their kids grow up to be people of themselves, of their own.
