I eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.

When I feel confident and comfortable, I'm better at my job.

I like to go to the beach, have a bonfire, and play music.

We all look in the mirror and name the things that we don't like about ourselves or wish we could change. Instead, name the good things and focus on that!

Dress how you're comfortable. Wear the makeup that you're comfortable in - or don't wear it.

If anyone is ever rude to you, then there's no need to hang out with them! Just find the people that make you feel good.

For the 'Try' video, I didn't prep or starve myself and over-exercise. And then I didn't get my nails done. I didn't get my hair done. I didn't get a facial. I didn't have a stylist.

When you have a cute outfit on and your makeup looks amazing, the first thing people comment on is your image. When you don't wear makeup, you hear things like, 'Oh wow, you look tired,' or, 'You're so brave for not wearing makeup!'

I like doing 25-minute intervals on the treadmill. I go back and forth with running and fast walking and keep changing the incline to high and low. Then I do 15 minutes of lifting light weights and all different kinds of sit-ups, squats, and stretches. I do this routine four days a week.

I use moisturizer on my face both day and night, and I don't sleep with makeup on.

My advice is don't scrub your makeup off your eyes; be gentle.

I love to be in Hawaii - everything very natural, and my style reflects that.

I do write a lot of folky songs naturally.

I like the unknown.

I think 12 songs is too much to listen to all at once. When I buy a record, I get to the fifth song, and then I don't get to really hear the rest of the record.

It's exhausting being a woman.

I don't wear makeup when I'm home. I love taking a break from it.

Over the years, I've heard pop artists do some Christmas songs, and I haven't fully cared for them. They weren't the traditional Christmas music that I was raised on and love. Thinking of that, I wanted to make my songs mimic the classic Christmas songs.

I don't have the attention span for sports.

My dad is one of the sweetest human beings around. He's so patient with people and has so many ideas that he's so much fun to work with.

It's so funny because when you're working with an acquaintance or someone else, you're being more polite. I find that I'm a little bit more of a brat when I'm in the studio with my dad, so I feel bad.

I'm against the ways of the world where people feel like they need to always make things too perfect.

Writing is my therapy. My feelings build up inside of me and then I sit down and write a song.

I think the older you get, the more you know about life, and the more you learn about yourself and you become comfortable in your own skin. So the older I'm getting, the more fun I'm having.

When I was younger, I just wanted to be a singer.
