Ask about music growing up, I'll tell you I grew up playing classical music, and I didn't grow up in a musical household.

My goal really was to make pop music feel as human as possible.

I want to have a long career. But that's based on wanting people to buy into my voice and not into a fabricated image.

It's really easy to go viral, but I think it's really hard then to have a career.

I've got more creative control when I do music.

I have always wanted to do a feature film that brings the world of Lisa Frank to life. We have so much backstory on our characters, and they have been alive in my imagination since the beginning.

The thing about imagination is that by the very act of putting it down, there must be some truth in one's own imagination.

I suppose I'm proudest of my novels for what's imagined in them. I think the world of my imagination is a richer and more interesting place than my personal biography.
