Growing up, my dad took me to the opera.

Female empowerment is very strong in my life and that's how I am.

Oh my gosh, I mean, I've had many experiences of men calling me psycho.

I think, personally for me I always work on the next goal and wanna figure out how to achieve it.

I wrote '('Til) I Kissed You' about a girl I met in Australia. Her name was Lilian, and she was very, very inspirational. I was married, but... I wrote the song about her on the way back home.

I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.

There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage, in your job, in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.

Vinyl is the real deal. I've always felt like, until you buy the vinyl record, you don't really own the album. And it's not just me or a little pet thing or some kind of retro romantic thing from the past. It is still alive.
