My goals are to tell meaningful stories through songs and touch people's lives... and hopefully make a living doing it.

I love berries. Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an 'errie' in it!

My heroes are just everyday people who work hard, are honest and have integrity.

Take one step at a time, there's no need to rush

Right now, I feel like I can take on the world. Ambition is the perfect word for where I am in my life right now.

I like to wear sleeves because they cover up my arms.

I know what I want to look like. I don't want to look trashy. I want mothers to be able to look at me and not have to close their kids' eyes!

If I don't laugh at least 20 times a day - it hasn't been a good day.

I've grown up a lot, I've experienced a lot, I'm in love, I'm super happy with who I am and comfortable in my own skin and that's definitely gonna be portrayed in the music and in the lyrics.

I like what I see in the mirror. I liked what I saw in the mirror before. It just didn't work in a bikini. And now it does. So I'm excited!

I love food and I love my curves.

When you touch someone who authentically represents a tradition, you not only touch his or her tradition, you also touch your own.

When you're marginalized, there are no "them people, " if we're all on the outskirts of the same margin.

It's the greatest thing in the world, natural enthusiasm. You are nothing without it.

We cannot give our children what we don’t have.

Google is so big you have no idea what a given person does.

Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Film, for me, has been a process of learning on the job.

FX does a great thing with its comedies where they give them a slow push out there.

A good style should show no signs of effort. What is written should seem a happy accident.
