“Headliners, no matter the genre, usually are a person or band who has an ethos.”
“Really unfiltered personal writing is cool to me. I'm like, 'How did you show that to everyone?'”
“Humans are fascinated with communication. I was always drawn to words and stories, staying in touch with your feelings and being open to what's around you.”
“Every breakup is preceded by a bad relationship. So breakups should be cause for celebration and triumph.”
“Even people that are close to me or people that are acquaintances... The only question I get now is, 'How is music going?' It's an overpowering quality of my life now, the fact that I write songs. It's weird to navigate what that means socially.”
“You don't have to make something in order to retain your identity as an artist or a writer or a creative person. A lot of people think they have to be producing in order to maintain that identity.”
“I would not say that my relationships are becoming shallow; if anything, some of them are really being tested in a way that I'm so thankful for my friends that call me and still want to talk.”
“Even if somebody wanted to tell me what one of my songs meant to him or her, I can't do it - I would be probably put to tears every time.”
“I've been journaling longer than I've been a musician, longer than I've been an artist, longer than I've been a writer in general.”
“There have been a couple specific instances where I've felt like I couldn't survive without interacting with a certain person. I've been involved with some pretty manipulative people who have told me the same thought: that I can't live without them.”
“From the very beginning, I had a lot of female role models in music. I would go to shows, and there were always women fronting bands and playing guitar or backing up and playing drums or bass in a band. That probably contributed to my belief in myself to go out and perform for people.”
“I'm going to name my daughter Emily.”
“I don't end up writing songs in my journals, but I'm sure that my ability to write songs has been helped by how consistently and impulsively I try to get my life into words through the journals.”
“There was never an 'a-ha' moment when a spider bit me and I knew I could write songs. For that reason, I don't know if I'm always going to be able to. I want to write songs forever, but it's an elusive thing.”
