The way I write is generally about love. I have a great fascination about the subject..

I like when the song starts to take over and you feel like you have to dance more than write..

I like Los Angeles. So many artistic people, and I just love the weather..

Canada was my whole world and my whole reality, and now I meet people who've never been there, and it's like, 'You've never been to my whole world?'.

You know in that moment of Disney when Ariel gets legs for the first time? I felt like that. I was like, 'I've got legs.'.

I've never been an all-black girl. I like pinks and blues and greens. If you come over to my closet, you'll be able to find a rainbow of things to we….

I know my music is going well when I don't have insomnia..

I'm a little bit of a hippie at heart, so I always wear things that are comfortable and flowing..

I waited for my first kiss..

I feel very, very blessed..

I have a couple of girlfriends who've told me some horror stories but I've never had a really terrible kiss before..

There's been a progression in my sound..

For nighttime or for an event, I'm all about the nice heel. Something that's still walkable but definitely very elegant..

I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be able to collaborate with some of my dream producers..

I always wanted to be known as a songwriter and not just a songbird..

I definitely have a little attraction to bad guys, but they have to be sweethearts underneath. After all, I like to be treated well..

I went to a Canadian college for performing arts and then I auditioned for Canadian Idol. That honestly was my golden ticket..

I have a secret love of jazz..

I guess there's a part of you that always wants to try something a little bit different than what you’ve done before..

I don't have any desire to rebel and be something totally different from what I am..

I do think grand gestures are a hit and miss, especially for girls..
