She said, “I never a single time woke up in the morning and thought, ‘You know what I’m going to do today? I’m going to go innovate some stuff. Things need to be innovated and I’m going to be the one that does it.’ But what I did do was try to make the right decision for me at the time, whether or not it had ever been successfully done before.”
The 33-year-old singer also shared an important message that it’s okay to fail. She revealed, “I really really want everyone to know, especially young people, that the hundreds or thousands of dumb ideas that I’ve had are what led me to my good ideas. You have to give yourself permission to fail. I try as hard as I can not to fail, because it’s embarrassing, but I do give myself permission to and you should, too. So go easy on yourselves and just make the right choices that feel right for you.”
