With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.
If you're presenting yourself with confidence, you can pull off pretty much anything.
I wasn't going to great schools, because my parents didn't believe in public education. They wanted the education to be influenced by their religion, so I was going to these halfway education-slash-Christian schools that were like pop-up shop-style education.
I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.
I just have so much love for my record label.
I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where you came from.'
If you are not happy with something, you should change it. So I went to a lot of therapy, and finally, I am able to speak up for myself: You are going to hear me roar!
I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.
I have a second chance on life.
My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.
