I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.
I guess I'm just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
My favourite people to follow on Twitter are... my fans. They make me laugh so much and keep me smiling.
I want to be more like Pixie Lott. She works really hard but always manages to keep smiling. She never complains.
I still don't know if I can write songs. I don't think anyone ever knows if they can write songs.
I feel like my figure is a challenge because I'm quite flat chested but I've got a booty so I've got to look for the right things.
I've always been fascinated by the human body, but you can become quite morbid and paranoid if you think too much.
I guess I started running when I was about 18 and... I feel like it assists my creativity a bit because it completely just flushes everything out.
When things aren't working out for people, the end of the world seems like an easy way to wipe the slate clean.
I'm from Wisconsin; well, that's where I went to school from, like, sixth grade till I graduated high school.
The stainless-steel frets were a major breakthrough, because of the amount of playing and bending that I do. I have to get my guitars refretted every couple of months.
It makes me feel kind of weird, but obviously the Man Upstairs gave me something and it touches people, and I'm just so blessed.
Every song is like a kid. How can you have that many kids and have a favorite? Which one do I like to hang most with?
Country taught me how to sing, it put me on a path. But I was never going to be locked into a formula. I don't want to be considered a current country artist.
I really have shaken hands with where my voice is right now. I think it's got a little deeper; it's got some more grooves in it.
I'm even able to have kind of a little bit of a second career in dog rescue. Doesn't pay anything, but it's become a real passion for me.
You know, I'm a fan of Laurie Anderson. One of my favorite records is 'The Ugly One With the Jewels,' a spoken-word record. It's an extraordinary album.
I've had a wordless phase, and that's still not entirely over: what I sing is not always literally meant that way, and you can hear that in the way it is sung.
Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that's all that matters.
So it's not so much that I set out to do something different, it's just that the songs themselves require their own individual voice and attention.
If it comes out sounding like Dixieland jazz or classical or punk or rock or even slightly metal, that's because that's where I'm going to find inspiration.
