Everybody wants to have a commentary on my life, like they are actually living it. Cool, comment all you want but I'm the one that's living it.
When I love somebody, I love somebody. Like, I want to marry them. I don't date around. I haven't been on a date.
I still want to make a pop record. I want to make a more sonically current pop record. I maybe want to make people move a little bit more.
I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.
I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'
My whole thing is to agree to disagree and to have respect because nothing can really be changed and you wouldn't want to ruin their happiness - even if that happiness is ignorance.
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.
If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus.
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 just want to make it very clear that I come from very humble beginnings, and I worked for everything!
I never want to be just one thing - I want to be multidimensional.
Sometimes if you want to achieve something great, there will be curveballs. You just have to dodge them every once in a while.
A lot of the time people don't even know what they want until they see something new.
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.
