I was a fat girl growing up and had to change schools because kids were so mean.

I have a tendency to become very self-critical.

One of my earliest memories of writing at a piano was alongside my sister.

I have spent my whole career worrying that the big bad pop monster was going to eat me when I wasn't looking.

There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.

We always try to keep going and stay concentrated. Early goals help that a lot.

Inspiration comes from everywhere. Obviously, my lyrics are what I most care about in the moment and what I feel like I need to say.

I think every athlete will tell you no matter what sport you're in, when you train so hard and when you care so much about doing what you do, there's a little bit of nerves that come with that. But nerves that won't prevent you form performing, nerves that, hopefully, allow you to be that much more motivated and inspired to do well.
