My first word was "mine." It happened when I was in my walker in my driveway and my dad snatched an ice cream out of my hand and I just screamed "mine!", like "Give me my ice cream! Why'd you take my ice cream?" And then there's a picture of me outside dressed as a bunny. So I just did a little kewpie baby dressed as a bunny, holding ice cream that's melting, just to mix the two experiences".

And then I got a dog and my parents told me I couldn't have a bunny and a dog, so we all decided to give the bunny away to a friend of a friend who already had a bunny. So we thought 'It'll have a friend, that’s amazing, that's awesome.' So they left my bunny and their bunny in the backyard unattended for like, four hours. They ended up finding their bunny in their neighbor's backyard and my bunny's h*ad was in their yard". The bunny in the story is Whinnie.

Cry Baby (album) Nine Year Anniversary [August 14th, 2015]

“Writing this album, I was super… I wasn’t that confident as an artist. I knew what I wanted. But I was a bit more insecure for personal reasons and vulnerable, too. I was figuring myself out. By the end of the writing process, I felt a lot more comfortable with myself and a bit more confident. So did she! She [Cry Baby] is super emotional and that is how I was growing up my whole life. But the last song, ‘Mad Hatter,’ is her being okay with being crazy. She wouldn’t have it any other way. That is who she is and cannot fight it. That’s how I am at this point.”
