It took me a long time to learn how to write a good song.

I was once making a burger for myself at my boyfriend's house and a lyric started pouring out and I had to catch it, so I ran to another room to write it down, but then the kitchen caught fire. His cabinets were charred, and he was furious. But it was worth it for a song.

I always had to wait until something hit me, and I could write it. But when I would cut an album, to me it represented the time that I spent since the last one. Just the way I was looking at the world.

It took a long while for me to even put out a record because there were so many options of how to do a song, and in some respects, I'm never totally happy with the outcome.

I took a lot of time to open myself up to taking chances musically.

It took me a long time to stumble upon a sound, and I figured out I wanted to kinda sing rapper's lyrics.

Just the fact that a thousand people in front of me were ready to hear me sing was one of the best feelings I can think of.

It doesn't take me long to write songs.

More than anything, that's been the thread through my life - the desire to write, the impulse to write. I mean, it's taken me other places, but it was the impulse to write that led me to singing.
