I grew up in LA so I'm definitely a West coast girl. It's a totally different beach. It's a totally different ball game. I feel like on the East Coast being at the beach is something they don't get to do a lot.

Here in LA I feel like we get that a little bit more so we don't appreciate it as much. But there you could really feel the energy.

When you're from the East Coast or you're from the South, people expect you to sound a certain way. So if you don't sound that way, people won't label you as that type of artist. For me, I had a whole new lane to create for myself being from Pittsburgh and being a Midwest artist.

In any democratic, civilized - even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means to say that in our case, if there's a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them.

I like to direct movies, but I don't like to goof around for eight years talking about it. And it's pretty irritating to get a movie on.

Which is not at all to say I would never do it again, or it would never happen again.
