For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.
And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate.
The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard. You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them.
It's never been about trying to look well-behaved. It's just how I am. I guess it's a weird thing to be 19 and not ever have been drunk, but for me, it just feels normal because I don't really know any other way. I don't know if I'd be comfortable getting wasted and not knowing what I've said. That doesn't mean when I'm older I won't have a glass of wine. I just don't think it's such a strange thing for me not to be wasted all the time.
Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.
I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger.
Live your life like you are 80 years old looking back on your teenage years
I want a guy who takes charge, but lets me have my say once in a while. A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.
You have to not only live your life in spite of people who don't understand you, you have to have more fun than they do.
My experience with songwriting is usually so confessional, it's so drawn from my own life and my own stories.
But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.
I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you.
When you are missing someone, time seems to move slower, and when I'm falling in love with someone, time seems to be moving faster.
I believe when it comes to love, there's something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don't think I have a pattern.
