I like to be supportive and a role model. 
I like structure, cool, hip songs, and fun, hooky music. 
It didn't scare me to be vulnerable because I think that's when you get something great. 
Wherever I go, people are so kind and so lovely and so warm and show their best self. So I feel very lucky. 
I think my best friend is dry shampoo and dry texturizer spray. 
I was a political science major in college and dreamed of being a diplomat. 
I'm so grateful that anyone has connected with my songs, let alone millions of people. 
I love Kelly Clarkson's message, and I've heard comparisons to P!nk. 
There's a joy I think people feel from ... my performance. 
I used to feel it was too late for me; I'd had my shot. You couldn't make a pop star out of me. 
The adventurer in me would love to visit Patagonia, Chile. 
I didn't grow up with musical influences in my family. 
I used to imagine working as a White House staffer some day, so it was pretty amazing to be there ... realizing another dream. 
Even if I'm making music for people for $20 a night, at least I'm making music. 
It used to break my heart that I didn't get to start in varsity soccer! 
My mom is a therapist, and my dad has a doctorate in psychology, and growing up, I felt 'very understood.' 
I learned a lot from playing those late-night, 1-to-4 A.M. gigs with my band, and playing when no one was listening. 
When I got on stage, I felt this bolt of electricity hit me, and it was this shock of, 'This is exactly what I'm supposed to do with my life.' 
I used to visit London when I was younger with my family. I feel very close to the city. 
I'm one of those people at the airport holding a pillow like a little kid. 
I wish I'd gone to music school or just started playing in bands sooner. 
No matter what, I still was gonna make music, even if it was on a small scale. Even if it was just for me. 
I want to continue to remain present and grateful each day that I get to be doing what I love. Making and performing music I believe in.
