When people like your music because it has vulnerable honesty, and you're able to comfortably admit to flaws and imperfections, then that's the most liberating thing about being an artist.
We lived by the water, and I was a pretty normal kid until my teenage years; then I dyed my hair pink and spiraled out of control.
I'm always exhausted after a show, even if it's just half an hour.
My dream was never to become this unattainable star.
When I'm angry, like, if someone gets me really upset, whatever comes into my head, I scream it.
The fact is, when you date an artist, you have to know that they're going to sing about you.
I started to use music almost like a therapist, where it's like, everything that I don't really dare to say or speak about, I can sing about.
I knew when I went to a very hippie high school that focused on music that I wanted to do something in the industry.
I don't think I would live very long if I was a rock star.
I definitely feel I'm outside of the polished pop girl group, which feels right. I don't think I could keep up that polished surface on purpose.
I can't live just being content. I can't have a routine. I can't be settled because then I just get really frustrated.
I always loved performing and being on stage.
Everything that has to do with sex is somehow... it's the best thing in the world, and it's still the one thing people don't want you to talk about.
I've had to learn how to say no to things, and have people around me that don't push me too hard, because I'll go until I just crash. I don't have a stop button.
