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.
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.
