I'm a very private person, so getting used to that kind of limelight was never going to be easy.

As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it, get away and have a normal life.

I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.

Before, I was really passive, all I cared about was being in love with my boyfriend. I didn't have any creative power, nothing. I don't know that person any more.

My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.
