मैं 14 साल की उम्र से प्यार में हूँ; यह हमेशा किसी न किसी व्यक्ति या चीज़ पर केंद्रित रहा है और हमेशा एकतरफा रहा है। इसकी वजह से मुझे बहुत सी घिसी-पिटी बातें कहनी पड़ीं, लेकिन यह मेरा स्वभाव भी है। मैं रोमांटिक बनना चाहती हूँ, और ऐसा करने का गाने एक अच्छा जरिया हैं।

I've been in love since I was 14; it's always focused on someone or something and it's always unrequited. It's led to a lot of cheesy lines, but it's also the way I am. I want to be romantic, and songs are a good way to do that.

यदि आप कोई लेख लिखते हैं, तो उसे किसी संपादक को दिखाना और अपने सबसे अच्छे दोस्त को दिखाना दो अलग-अलग बातें हैं। आप सोचते हैं, "शायद वह इसमें कोई कमी देख लेगा या उस पर उसकी नजर चली जाएगी।" Vancouver में मेरे सबसे अच्छे दोस्त के साथ ऐसा ही हुआ था। मैंने उसे "जस्ट ए ड्रीम" सुनाया और उसने आधे रास्ते में ही हेडफ़ोन उतार कर कहा, "यार, यह किसी बकवास की तरह है।" उसने मुझसे कहा कि मुझे गायन के सबक लेने की जरूरत है।

If you write a piece, it's a different thing to show it to an editor than it is to show it to your best friend. You think, "Maybe she'll see through this or she'll see through that." That happened to me with my best friend back in Vancouver. I showed him "Just a Dream" and he took off the headphones halfway through and said, "Man, this is kind of garbage." He told me I needed to get singing lessons.

मैं अपने एल्बम के बारे में छपने वाली खबरों को न पढ़ने के लिए संघर्ष करती हूँ। जब पहली चीज़ें बाहर आईं तो यह सुनना बहुत अच्छा लगा कि लोगों को यह पसंद आया, लेकिन साथ ही इस बिंदु पर मेरे लिए इसे पढ़ना लगभग मुश्किल हो गया है क्योंकि जितना मैं अपनी आवाज़ से असहज हूँ, मेरा विश्वास कीजिए, मैं अपनी कही हुई बातों से उससे कहीं अधिक असहज हूँ। [हँसती है] जब मैं इसे किसी लिखित पन्ने पर देखती हूँ, तो ऐसा लगता है, "हे भगवान। मैंने उस आदमी से कह दिया कि मैं एक निराशाजनक रोमांटिक (hopeless romantic) हूँ! मैं यह क्या कर रही हूँ?"

I struggle to try not to read the press about my album. It was great when the first stuff came out to hear that people liked it, but at the same time at this point it's almost hard for me to read because as much as I'm uncomfortable with my voice, trust me, I'm more uncomfortable with the things I say. [laughs] To see it on a written page, it's like, "Oh my god. I told that guy I'm a hopeless romantic! What am I doing?"

अपने पूरे अनुभव को पीछे मुड़कर देखने पर, सबसे बड़ी सीख यही मिली कि आप जो करते हैं उस पर गर्व महसूस करें, और यह जानना कि अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देना ठीक है, भले ही वह सबसे अच्छा न हो। यह एक तरह से इसका सार है। मेरा मतलब है, ज़ाहिर है कि मैं सबसे अच्छी गायिका नहीं हूँ, ज़ाहिर है कि मैं सबसे अच्छी पियानो वादक या सबसे अच्छी गीतकार नहीं हूँ, लेकिन मैं उन सभी में अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ दे रही हूँ। एक बार जब आप उन सभी चीज़ों को अपनी जगह पर ले आते हैं, तो मुझे लगता है कि सब कुछ वैसे ही हो जाता है जैसा उसे होना चाहिए।

Looking back on my whole experience, the biggest takeaway was just being proud of what you do, and knowing that it's okay to do your best even if it's not the best. That's sort of the theme. I mean, obviously I'm not the best singer, obviously I'm not the best piano player or the best songwriter, but I'm doing my best on all of 'em. Once you have all those things in place, then I think everything falls the way it should.
