"I'm a very loud and outspoken creature." — Grace Potter

My mom was a piano teacher. It turned into something of a competition between me and her students... I liked the idea that I needed to be better than everybody else.

A lot of the themes that I write about are an affirmation of our existence on earth and making people feel like they are not alone, and making them feel like it is OK to be a little bit insane. That has always been sort of my credo in life.

You shouldn't feel judged when you are dancing or singing at the top of your lungs or existing in a maximum-expression way.

Spirituality is complicated. I do not belong to any particular religious group, but I have profound respect for people who devote their lives to faith.

Follow your path unapologetically. Be compassionate.

I grew up spending summer Saturdays at the local farmers' market, where my mom was a vendor. It fueled my passion for regional foods.

I always think it's a little bit of a challenge when people sort of associate female artists as their own genre.
