#Quote
1[on working with producer Rodney Jerkins and his music] When you meet people like that, you've got to really deliver. I like feeling like that, like I've gotta hit it out of the park. Every time I pulled up to his studio, I felt like a little kid riding her bike over to a friend's house, saying, 'What are we going to play today?'I took the time to celebrate it. I knew that you can never recreate those moments. They happen once and they are gone.
2I've come to my rose-colored nostalgia moment, where I'm celebrating home. It's taken many years to get to the point where I feel lucky.
3My long-term goal is to be independent, quite frankly. I got quite spoiled doing Mi Plan, and in the context of my English projects I've had a lot of creative freedom. It's quite addictive, that creative independence. You start to crave it more and more as you move forward.
4This idea that artists are always going to make the right choices and do the right thing is kind of a falsehood. That's what my songs are about. Falling down and getting back up again.
5I remember being five years old and it being like there was an orchestra in my mind and there was this soundtrack playing. I didn't know where it was coming from, but it was there. What I'm saying is that I tried on the pop hat for awhile and it was fun. But I'm ready to try new things.
6I put pressure on myself to be musically fresh, which is different from being trendy or being current. I like a fusion of sounds, just as long as it's funky.
