I think I always kind of wanted to be a musician but never dared to say it out loud because I never thought it was possible. I wanted to be a teacher, a lawyer, a doctor - I wanted to be a lot of other things growing up.

Feminism has always been a theme that I'm very interested in.

Teachers have been some of the most important people in my career.

My sister's job does not involve music, but she is an amazing singer and songwriter.

I want six kids. We'll see how it goes, but I want a big family.

In England, I met a couple who run a children's home. They were very kind and showed me many nice spots in England.

I actually went to NYU for six months, had some family issues that kind of set me back, and I couldn't afford to go anymore. That was the theme going on in my whole life, you know: money stopping me from whatever I wanted to do.

My family came over from Spain about nine generations ago. I was born in San Diego, but by the time I was four days old, I was on a flight back to Spain because that's where my family was living at the time.
