My mom was always saying: 'Be whatever you want to be, but stick with it. Don't waver. Don't change who you are for anybody.'

People naturally change a lot during their 20s, so my songs reflect that progression.

Long intros are cool because there's a little bit of anticipation, you know?

Yeah, my dad bought me a guitar when I was like 10, and I didn't really want it then.

I've dated all kinds of guys and didn't know who I'd end up with. But I kind of assumed it would be someone more like my dad than not.
