I believe we have all this image stuff and blah, blah, blah but at the end of the day it all boils down to music don't you think?

I like the idea that people have formed their own opinions. And of course once people meet me or talk to me their opinion totally changes because I'm much more that girl that you hang out with than you think.

My major influence was my ten years older sister.

I mean that's my entire life right there. I re-evaluted everybody in my life. I narrowed it down to the people that really cared about me. And did away with everybody else. Just kind of distanced myself. Same thing with the producers.

You know a lot of times you'll find girls in a club are jaded to the other girls in the club. There's a nasty vibe between the chicks in the club. It's like a pretty girl can't look at another pretty girl and say Wow she's pretty.

I think that music is stale because of it. I think that we have the same artists from day to day. It's nice to see an artist dip out and come back in every once in awhile. There's a such thing as oversaturating the market. I mean look at Britney.

I do house things. I paint. I do portraits. I also paint my house.

I mean there are tons of reasons. Well first of all. I write my own record. I don't take other people's materials. And I have a job which is being Willa Ford on top of getting back in the studio and writing and recording.

There's a million new people in the studio every day creating new stuff so I really had to be on my toes with this one so I could get it out before somebody else could.

I'm not a cheerleader. I'm not trying to pretend to be sweet and then come out and be bad. This is who I am.

The thing that I like about being me is that everybody gets a different feeling from me.

I believe honesty comes across in music because for [most] people music isn't just something to dance to.

I mean a song that's specifically for the girls. It's saying you know we talk about them night and day, we're constantly pondering on men and what they've done good and what they've done bad and all these things in our lives.

I tried to bring in the live orchestra like Bjork does. I love the feeling that that music gives me when I just listen to it. I mean it would be awesome to do an entire record like that. But unfortunately that's not my style. So rather than do a record like that I just got inspired by it.
