Quotes

“There’s value in being a normal person.”

“Being a songwriter is really the base of being an artist, for me.”

“I think that, as artist, all we can do is be who we are. I think that if we do that, then we’re automatically not anyone else.”

“People send me song all the time that are literally no-brainer hits… but for me, I’m an artist because I’m a writer.”

“I get to remind myself and other people to be yourself, to rock you who you are, and don’t worry about if it fits.”

“I am such a girly girl, and I love not playing it safe. I’m so new to this world, so it’s fun to establish myself as a fashionista.”

“I’ve always been drawn to the message of ‘Be yourself. Love yourself.’ I need to be reminded of that all time.”

“I love when an artist can stand by themselves and play their guitar and hold a crowd, but I also lovebells and whistles.”

“The fun thing about song writing is that it’s just creative. It can be whatever you want it to be. For me, I’m really protective of that. I’m not going to write something because I feel like it fits here or fits there – I just want to write music that feels good to me, you know?”

“For a long time, because I’m pretty tall, I was scared to wear heels, but now I wear them all the time. I feel like I’m still discovering my stage style, but I love – well, I’m not a huge color person onstage, but I am in real life. I like short stuff, big heels, fringe, lots of fringe, sometimes sparkle, yeah!”
