finally heard me and was like, okay, you don't have to do it anymore. And I think this is where my heart breaks for young artists who don't realize you have the power to go home all along. I didn't ever have to do any of that. But I do think I grew from the experience.

I'm not gonna write you a love song Cause you asked for it

That's a good question. You can shove it. I wish I could have put that in there. I think you're right. That wasn't a moment of despair. That was more a moment of discovery. I was listening to the radio and I was just like trying to cop what I heard on the radio. I was trying to like mimic. I was like, oh, it should sound something like this.

And I was so angry when I caught myself in that line of thinking. And I said a prayer and I was like, please let me just return to myself somehow. Just remember why I'm doing this. Remember what I'm trying to say. And it was a diary entry. It's like head underwater and you tell me to breathe easy. This time is impossible. I don't want to give you what you're asking for.

I don't even know if I knew what I thought they were asking for, except that I knew they wanted a song that could go on the radio.

My mom was a very prominent community theater actress in Humboldt County where I grew up. And she did tons and tons of shows at our repertory theater there. And I would go to the theater and I went back not that long ago. And in my mind... It is like a palace. And when I went back, I'm like, oh, it's like a 99 seat theater. It's so small and perfect and beautiful.

And it was the happiest I ever was, was sitting in a theater seat. And then the idea that I could be a part of productions was just like mind blowing. I did productions of Little Shop of Horrors. I did Mystery of Edwin Drood. I did Charlotte's Web. And I really thought I would go into theater. And then I started writing songs. And I moved to L.A. to go to UCLA. And then my music career...

just sort of foregrounded itself. And I got on that ride. Being a touring artist is like you get on the ride and then you come home and you write a new record and then you get right back on the ride. And I started to feel like I'll hate this really soon. Well, I took this month-long rumspringa in New York. And I had a meeting with my brand-new theatrical agent.
