Falling in love is awesome, but I'm never drawn to happy songs per se, so whenever you sit down to write a heartbreak song and you're happily in love, it's like, 'OK, now I have to go back to a sad place to get something good.' ↗

We have parties at my house. My girlfriends and I play our iPods, with all of our favorite songs. We pick our songs and jump up on the counter and dance, and do runway stuff, and we take video with my camera. When I'm with my girlfriends, I act like I'm 19. ↗

When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song. ↗

They really can't imagine what my voice is like. Every time I sing a song, they are very surprised. ↗
