That was it. Suddenly you hit puberty, and it's like, you know, thrift stores! I just started deconstructing everything from thrift stores.

I was a different person before I started to write. When I realized I could be a songwriter and that people would listen - that was when I started feeling good in my life.

I used to go to Saks, I would go to Bergdorf, I would go to Barneys, I would go to thrift stores in SoHo.

(Thrift stores) tend to do better on the East Side than the West.

My parents always pushed creativity on us, but they made it seem like the fun thing to do.

At a certain point I'm going to want to have a family.
