Quote

But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.

There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.

I like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.

For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing. Being on the road all the time, it's various articles of clothing that keep me inspired and feeling good. A fun or beautiful thing to wear can change your day. I think spontaneity and not adhering to any narrow styles keep me happy.

The guys in high school were like, You've got a nice voice you should keep singing, but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.

I think the voice is an underrated instrument these days and it's easy to make up for lack of ability with effects. I think sometimes people are more wowed with effects than core craftsmanship. Strong voices are not as common as they used to be.

I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!

If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing Misty Mountain Hop at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I wasn't allowed to play any instruments I could only be the singer because I was a girl.
