Teen
  • I was a handful growing up.

  • I think you go through a period as a teenager of being quite cool and unaffected by things.

  • Adolescence is when girls experience social pressure to put aside their authentic selves and to display only a small portion of their gifts.

  • When I look in the mirror I see the girl I was when I was growing up, with braces, crooked teeth, a baby face and a skinny body.

  • But when I was a teenager, the idea of spending the rest of my life in a factory was real depressing. So the idea that I could become a musician opened up some possibilities I didn't see otherwise.
