I'm okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it's fabricated and ill-motived, it's not good.
People don't want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn't do what Rihanna does. I couldn't do what Gaga does. They can't do what I do.
I like a good boy, but sometimes you get bored.
I'll continue to try and balance like a circus act. And I will just fight to always tell the truth. Even if it's difficult.
For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect, and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.
If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.
I'm competitive with myself, and that goes hand in hand with how I present myself. I'm not only trying to put one foot in front of the other, I'm trying to put my best foot forward.
Fame is, I think, just a disgusting by-product of what I do.
You look at someone like Beyonce singing 'Single Ladies,' when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.
I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.
I was never really attached to a clique, and I wanted to be in all the different groups; I was never a one-group kind of person. I think that's still part of my personality today.
I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.
I don't follow trends. I'm just not into what everyone else is wearing. I have my own look, which I call 'Lolita Meets Old Hollywood Glam.'
I don't want to completely self-sabotage everything that I've got and alienate everyone. But I definitely want to take some chances as I always have.
