“I started writing when I was so little so it just feels like a natural response to any situation emotionally for me - it's just my outlet.”

“There's nothing weirder than getting raised up in the middle of a stage on a platform.”

“My skin-care journey has been a very interesting one.”

“I have been writing about my feelings forever.”

“I love music more than anything, but writing was like my first love.”

“I love jumpsuits.”

“I feel very intense stage fright, and the concept of performing in front of people freaks me out, and I just need to get around it. When I thought about posting videos initially, the degree of separation between myself and the people on the other side of the phone, that didn't freak me out.”

“I don't think my songwriting process has been influenced directly by either of my parents, because that is definitely something that you have to figure it out for yourself.”

“I'm seriously just a T-shirt-and-jeans kind of girl, normally! Every day, that's my go-to!”

“Every time that I write, whether it's journaling or songwriting, I feel better after. There's a wave of relief and gratitude.”

“I started music when I was 8.”

“I don't feel like I have the greatest memory, so finding selfish motivations for writing things down helps... I'm like, it would be really cool to not forget the majority of my days. I would love to have all the details all the time.”

“I'm especially devastated by Roe vs Wade being overturned, but it's just one of the trillion things on the list of the ways we've been betrayed.”

“The Internet is a funny and scary place to talk about your feelings.”

“I love when a song is so specific that there's not much room for interpretation.”

“There's genuinely nothing on Earth like the 'Eras' tour.”

“Pulling like little pieces from things that we love is how we are formed as people, whether it's music or anything else.”

“I love slip skirts, slip dresses.”

“Every artist I love is a hill that I'm willing to die on for the rest of my life.”

“When I wrote 'Minor' it was definitely in the middle of a break-up and feeling like it was what I needed to write about.”
