I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process. 
I'm just not interested in selling out to get on the charts and make people happy. 
I've been chased through airports with a screaming baby because the photographers are ruthless, and they want the picture. 
I take a situation, analyse it, break it down, put it in the form I want it to be in, and then I toss it away. Let somebody else go deal with it. 
I would describe my aesthetic as definitely personal and harmonious with an eclectic yet bohemian sensibility. 
If you lined up everyone I've ever dated, you wouldn't see any similarities. 
Anybody in the spotlight can get lost in that if they are not careful. 
Mostly singing was cathartic, writing was cathartic, therapeutic. I don't think I had a goal, particularly, to sing or put it out there for anybody. 
I think people think I'm harder and more arrogant and cocky than I am - because I know how to put on a front, but it's nothing like who I am inside. 
I work because I think that I wouldn't feel good about myself unless I was contributing. 
I've never even been out of my BMI range. I'm 5-foot-3. If I gain five pounds, it shows. 
Being Elvis Presley's daughter is a whole lot of pressure. It's been a constant burden in my life. 
When I write, it's purging for me. It's a therapeutic process. 
I don't ascribe to any particular style or period. 
I went through a huge transition in my life where everything and everyone I knew and trusted didn't turn out to be that way. 
I was very protective of my father and I didn't like these people who hung around outside all day. They creeped me out. 
Were it not for Scientology, I would either be completely insane or dead by now, 
I dropped out of school in the 11th grade because there was no purpose in it for me. I'm not proud of this, and I'm not trying to promote it. 
I sit with the intention to write a record. 
Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music. 
I'm not doing this to be a pop star. I've had plenty of money and attention. I'm doing it for credibility. 
I have a tendency to kick it up. I like to rattle the cage. 
I have always been a singer/songwriter, and I was pushed in places I didn't want to do, like pop or top forty. I don't belong there. 
I think I've failed every test I've ever taken. If there was a failure I would have been it. 
I don't do yoga. I bite the hella outta my nails. I smoke, I eat all the wrong food, I don't exercise. 
You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don't take things for granted. 
I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.
