I got a fantastic person to work me out and get me into really good shape.
I grew up listening to gospel. That was the only thing that I had reference to because that was what my family was involved with.
I just have so much love for my record label.
Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.
My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.
I came from a different mind-set growing up, and my mind has changed.
I can't be the candy queen forever.
I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.
I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting.
I grew up not really having anything, so the idea that I can take care of my family and my friends now is a really cool bonus.
I just want to make it very clear that I come from very humble beginnings, and I worked for everything!
I love those documentaries where everyone is fabulous and always perfect.
I never want to be just one thing - I want to be multidimensional.
I'd never devote a whole record to heartbreak.
