With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.
I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.
Everyone related to me in my circle was from church: church friends, church school, church activities. All my friends weren't allowed to watch MTV or go to PG-13 movies or listen to the radio, so I didn't really know anything different. That's how I was raised.
Hollywood is so fake and people need to realize that people are just people, and you, too, don't need to be born into something or have money or have whatever product someone is hawking on you.
My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don't even know that there's something magical hidden at the base of it. There's a whole other side of me that people didn't know existed.
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 think it's great to dress up and play on all the girly features.
I think that you should definitely listen to what people say, because everyone says it: High school is not the real world.
I think you become more relatable when you're vulnerable.
I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't pan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.
I'm every woman. It takes a village to make me who I am.
I'm not defined by where I came from.
I'm okay with having horrible lower teeth.
