Quotes:
"My music is a direct reflection of who I am. My writing is everything to me because that's all I had growing up.
I had a really tough childhood and at a point when I was very young, I sort just stopped speaking because
I stuttered"
Mentioning her inability to have friends, causing her to always be alone due to her mother staying with her sister
in the hospital, her father being drunk and the rest of her family living in South Africa, so she
"would just write all the time."
"Even when I'm not writing literally about things that have happened to me, all the pain of my childhood
and losing my sister ends up getting pushed into my music.
It shapes my songs and builds this deeper meaning under everything, which is one the most important things to me."
"If I can use what I have aesthetically to draw people in, then why not use it? I'm not going to put on
a turtleneck just to prove a point, or to make people feel more comfortable according to society's standards"
