The thing that people always write about me, which is almost cliché, is ‘Just watch out— she’s going to write a song about that.’ As if writing a song isn’t special. As if I’m living my life [for material]. Yeah, like it’s a trick I do… It’s not simple to write a song. The hardest times in my life have produced the songs that have done the best… I’ve learned that I’m going to go through really high highs and really low lows. I don’t always pick the right people to trust. But I’m not going to stop trusting people.
