I like to go into a little shell and be a hermit and make music for a while.

I believe that in music and in a lot of things it's kind of like surfing, you can have a really big wave sometimes and then you can have a smaller wave.

I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.

Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, 'I have been through worse.'

The second album was emotionally exhausting and my life felt like it had become very serious at a very young age.

Everything was going for me, I didn't even know the meaning of the word insecurity and suddenly I am surrounded by words like operation, cancer, chemotherapy, radiation.
