I am never usually taking myself too seriously and I think that people when they read stuff from me, they have to realise that I'm having fun.
I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.
I just like having fun.
Im a good girl at heart who just wants to have fun.
I'm like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinnier version of Lily Allen.
You know you're living right when you wake up, brush your hair - and confetti falls out!
I just like having fun. And, you know, sometimes I just like to present myself in that fun energy.
Honey, I am the chief of my train. If critics want to hop on board, fantastic. There's plenty of room. The KP train is fun.
My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.
I got this Jesus tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where you came from.'
I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest.
I think that parents grow up with an idea of what they want their kids to be like - and then their kids grow up to be people of themselves, of their own.
I never live in the present. I'd do interviews and people will say, 'Isn't this great?' or 'Can you believe?' And I would react, like, 'No, I can't believe it because I'm not living in this moment.'
I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.
