“I am an open book, and I'm fine being me: I'm not a perfect person.”

“I knew when I went to a very hippie high school that focused on music that I wanted to do something in the industry.”

“I was always drawn to the self-destructive kind of way. I thought there was something beautiful about it; I don't know why.”

“A lot of times, I get asked, 'Do you feel you have a responsibility to young girls to be a role model?' I don't see that happening as much to guys. I feel like, just because I'm a girl, I'm supposed to take more responsibility? Is that how it works?”

“For me, everything that you're passionate about always comes with a little pain. That's how life is, and that's how I want to live it. I don't want it to be balanced and ordinary.”

“We lived by the water, and I was a pretty normal kid until my teenage years; then I dyed my hair pink and spiraled out of control.”
