Coffee gives me bad breath.
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
Songs are about whatever you want them to be about. For me it might mean something completely different than what it means to you. So I'd say it's about whatever the listener thinks it's about.
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.
Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.
Designers send me clothes I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing.
I wasn't a trained Mickey Mouse club performer. I played in jazz clubs and restaurants.
I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.
Success and the art of making music are two different things for me.
It's hard for me to pry with people I know.
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
I don't like shopping, and I like my clothes to be comfortable.
I try to just make music that I love, and if I believe in it that's all that matters.
