I love to sing big rock and roll songs; I love to sing country-pop stuff, and then I love to sing soft, sadder beautiful songs.
I have perfected the art of the mean song to make me feel like I have a backbone.
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 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.
As for relationships, I know nothing. I'm an idiot; I can't get it right.
I grew up barefoot, dirty, climbing trees. It made me appreciate things more.
I don't like people who are just takers.
I had a beautiful mother and a famous father, and I didn't know where I fit in.
You have to be nice to everybody, and then people want you to succeed.
I fall in love fast, and I fall out of love even faster.
I followed a guy to Denmark. I came home with a broken heart.
Sometimes, if you fake confidence long enough, you're going to be confident.
I was 18, at art school, and saw this cute boy playing banjo. I was obsessed. I taught myself how to play. I listened to a lot of country and just messed around. The second song I wrote on the banjo was 'Good to Be a Man.' That what's got me signed.
I worked really hard to develop me as an artist and as a musician. I have so many different influences and play so many different instruments, I don't think anyone knew what to do with me!
