I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.
I only sing in my church choir. Except the other night, I stole the show at karaoke night.
The one place where I'm allowed to rebel, and the one place where I'm allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music.
I like things you can touch and things you can keep, because every bit of communication we have is ephemeral in nature. You can just delete an e-mail and it's like it was never there.
The only thing I can't control is the spin in the press. And so if I know I can't control that, I have to let it go.
I've never been fascinated by the party lifestyle. Penciling in a night to get wasted is not something I want to do.
I like organizing things. I like organizing my closets, so that I know where everything is. And and I used to color code it.
I have always felt a little strange about it being so unique that I'm not a train wreck. Like, this weird fluke that I'm not - partying all the time.
I'm always worried about everything. Like spiders.
I don't drink much alcohol. If it doesn't taste like candy or sparkles, I usually don't drink it.
When you walk out onstage in front of 65,000 people, it can bring you to tears.
I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy. My ultimate goal is to end up being happy. Most of the time.
I think who you are in school really sticks with you. I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, 'Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here.'
Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.
