My mom and I have always been very close. She is my best friend. She had to make a lot of sacrifices early on in my life to make sure I got to do what I wanted to do. ↗

I had a terrible manager once who described my career as 'spiraling downward.' ↗

I didn't think it was fair to my music to label me as the daughter of somebody - I didn't think it described me very well and I didn't think it had anything to do with my music. ↗

I had very modest expectations when I first moved to New York. I didn't even expect to get a record deal. ↗

I love eggs so much. I feel like my day hasn't started until I've had eggs. I'm probably gonna die from high cholesterol! ↗

It's true, there's a lot of melancholy in my music. I don't know why, I'm not a melancholy person. I've always been drawn to it. Ever since I was a kid, if I had an album I would play the ballads on repeat. ↗

It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play. ↗
