In 2007, you distributed an EP that featured a cover of "Use Your Love." The song is absent for your debut, however. Is there a particular reason for its absence?
The EP had a couple of songs that were just for the EP. I wanted all original material on my debut record, so the EP kind of gave everybody a little taste of what we wanted to do—and kind of forewarned them a little bit.
As the middle child of two pastors, did your parents find it hard to embrace your secular turn?
They're very cool. And they have been with me for a couple of days on the road. I'm their daughter! They love me, so we all get along and have a great family life. I think that they may not be signing along to a song like "I Kissed a Girl," in particular, but they're signing along to every other song. They're very supportive and happy, and they're glad that I'm not strung out on drugs somewhere and not doing centerfolds. I'm thinking about a couple of cheeky things, but I know what I'm doing. I'm very focused, trying to keep a good head upon my shoulders.
