I Certainly Didn't Want To

It'd Be Negligent To Say That I Don't Want To Be At The Top Of The Charts. Of Course I Do, It's Proof That Your Song Is Being Heard. But I Think It's More About The Work For Me And Being Proud Of What I'm Doing In Music Than What People Think About My Music. I Want To Like My Music Before You Like It. I Don't Want To Sell Anything That I Don't Really Like. I Don't Want To Sell Myself Short Just To Get To The Top Of The Charts. It Doesn't Feel That Great. Feeling Proud Of Your Work Feels Greater Than Being At The Top Of The Charts.

I've Figured Out The Secret. Your Mind Is Your Power; You Have To Work With Your Mind And Work With Your Own Thoughts About Your Own Life. If You Spend So Much Time Thinking, "this Industry Is Male-dominated. It's Sexist. It's This. It's That," Then That's What The Picture Will Always Be. I Remember When I Was Coming Up, I Didn't Have Those Thoughts. My Mom Told Me I Could Be Whatever I Wanted To Be And I Could Be As Bright Of A Star As I Was Meant To Be. So, That's Where I Put All Of My Focus And My Thought...into What I Could Do. And I Carry That With Me Now.

My Daughter Is In Love With Adele. She Listens To Her Every Day. To See Someone With That Much Passion And Soul Move A 9-year-old Is Amazing And It's Magical.

Music Is Infinite And Personal. I Don't Want To Put Myself In A Box. I Want To Try Everything And I'm Trying Everything. I'm Really Trying To Write What's In My Heart And What I Feel Without A Lot Of Help In That Department. It's About Being Brave.

I'm Going To Let People Know That It's Cool To Have A Child And Be Young And Still Be A Good Mom. It's Really Tough, But I'm Doing It.
