I don't want to be singing my diary.
I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don't want to do the same thing all the time.
I don't want to be the next big anything. I just want to play for people and that's it.
I just want to make my music, and I want it to stand on its own.
I like my life. I like my friends. I don't want to go anywhere else.
Don't go chasing after butterflies, when everything you want is right by your side.
You gotta remember, I'm 24 years old. Who knows if I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing? But yeah, I'd like to rock out some day!
I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.
There's a lot of personal stuff that can go into songwriting but there's also a lot of dramatization and fictionalization. You have to do that to make a good song.
People will read into what you say no matter what, so it doesn't matter to me.
I just do the same stuff I always did. I have a bigger apartment - that's the main change.
That's been the coolest thing about all this - I get to meet people that I worship!
I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music.
I'm in total control. I write the songs, decide what to sing and how to sing. I even control the recording process. But, with a film, there is no control at all.
