Summer has always been my favorite season. I feel happier.

One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it's my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.

I'll write and make chords with my voice sometimes if I don't have an instrument even though it takes a million times longer.

I put myself out there; it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.

Certain aspects of my personality are always going to come out on-screen. I guess that's just me - if they say I'm quirky, I'm quirky. It's better than being boring.

You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.

Blossoming and unfolding are basically the same thing, but blossoming is more romantic.

Writing music is really personal, and it's a really exciting thing to participate in because represents the full creative process: It feels like something is coming from nothing.

Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.

I like having a schedule. I tend to be the type of person that thrives on something being regular.

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.

In a lot of movies, you'll see people on crazy dates, and you're like, 'No one would ever do that!'

I am always early to work but sometimes late to other things.

I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
