Actually Living

More From Katy Perry

A Lot Of People Do Things Out Of Fear. A Lot Of People Make Choices, Based On Thinking, They Won’t Have A Career In Five Years. I Know Where I Am, I Know What I Do Is Worth Something And Does Not Have An Expiration Date On It. I’m Not Making Choices — In Any Capacity Of My Life, With Any Kind Of Endorsement, With Any Kind Of Product — Out Of Fear.

Don't Care What People Gonna Think Of You, Do What You Wanna Do And Seek Just Your Happiness.

Maybe A Reason Why All The Doors Are Closed So You Can Open One That Leads You To The Perfect Road.

I'm Okay If Everything Is Honest And Truthful And Relatable. If It's Fabricated And Ill-motived, It's Not Good.

All Women Are Created Equal, Then Some Become Мarines.

Ever Since I Was Younger I Wanted To Be On Stage, Singing My Songs In A Glittering Costume. And That Happened And Is Still Happening. I Have To Remember That This Is What I Wished For And Be Grateful Because There Are 500 Other Girls Right Behind Me That Are Ready To Snatch It Up.

I Get A Lot Of The Ideas When I'm Resting - Either When I'm Meditating Or Getting Some Kind Of Work Done On My Back, Like Physical Therapy Or Acupuncture. That's Where I Get My Best Ideas, Maybe Because I'm Balancing My Body.

I Had No Clue They Would Fall Into My Armpits Eventually.

Cause In You're Eyes, I'd Like To Stay

I'm Kind Of A Good Girl - And I'm Not. I'm A Good Girl Because I Really Believe In Love, Integrity, And Respect. I'm A Bad Girl Because I Like To Tease. I Know That I Have Sex Appeal In My Deck Of Cards. But I Like To Get People Thinking. That's What The Stories In My Music Do.

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 Not Even Allowed To Mention The Name Madonna In My Household - Just Because I Think The '80s And '90s Were So Madonna-filled. She Was Going Through So Many Evolutions At That Time.

The Press Is Just Not Your Friend When It Comes To A Marriage. That's Why We Didn't Sell The Pictures Of Our Wedding, And We Got Offered Millions Of Dollars For Them, Millions.

I Think You Become More Relatable When You're Vulnerable.

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.

You Can't Be A Full Tranny Every Day Of The Week That's An Exaggerated Part Of My Personality.

Days Of The Week

I Think You Can Have It All, You Just Have To Work Really Hard Because Great Things Don't Come Easily.

When I First Started Out, I Was Really Attracted To Having My Own Sense Of Style Because I Started Swing Dancing, Lindy Hop, And Jitterbug.

I'm Scared. I'm Excited. I'm Ready For Whatever Happens But I Think That Fame Is What Comes Along With The Territory When You Open Yourself Up And Become This Story, This Book For Anyone To Read.

If You Are Not Happy With Something, You Should Change It. So I Went To A Lot Of Therapy, And Finally, I Am Able To Speak Up For Myself: You Are Going To Hear Me Roar!

The First Songs I Wrote Were Catchy, But The Subject Matter Was God.

People Tried To Do A Lot Of Stuff With Me Early In My Career Where They Tried To Shape Me Into One Thing Or Another. They Couldn't Just Take The Chance And Go With My Vision - Which Was Just My Intuition, Really.

I'm Really Critical Of My Posture, It Makes A Big Difference. And I Try To Suck My Belly In. Everyone Should Do That Whether You're On A Red Carpet Or Not. Even If You're Just Going Out To Dinner With Your Boyfriend You Should Try And Suck It In.

I'm Kinda Saving Myself For Miley Cyrus.

It Was So Draining. Going To Parties To Rub Elbows With So-and-so And Act Like It's No Big Deal, When Really All I Was Doing Was Hoping I'd Have The Success They Had.

My Parents Were Strict, But It Was The World I Lived In. I Had No Idea There Was A World Outside.

I Can Feel A Phoenix Inside Of Me. I Can See The Heavens But I Still Hear The Flames Calling Out My Name.

You Look At Someone Like Beyoncé Singing Single Ladies, When We All Know She's Married. Some Of It Is Just For Entertainment.

I Just Have So Much Love For My Record Label.

Relationships Are Kind Of Like Riding A Bull. You Hang On For Dear Life And Sometimes You Get A Little Buck Here And There ... But You Get Back On.

Everyone Related To Me In My Circle Was From Church: Church Friends, Church School, Church Activities. All My Friends Weren't Allowed To Watch Mtv Or Go To Pg-13 Movies Or Listen To The Radio, So I Didn't Really Know Anything Different. That's How I Was Raised.

My Heart Beat Beats Me Senselessly Why's Everything Gotta Be So Intense With Me.

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."

The Summer After High School, When We First Met, We Make Out In Your Mustang, To Radiohead, And On My 18th Birthday, We Got Matching Tattoes, Used To Steal Your Parents Liquor, Then Climb To The Roof, Talk About Our Future Like We Had A Clue, Never Thought I'd Wondering I'd Be Losing You In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

I'm Like A Fatter Version Of Amy Winehouse And A Skinnier Version Of Lily Allen.

If You Can Believe In Something Great, Then You Can Achieve Something Great.

You Can Get Through It And You Can Land On Your Feet Triumphantly And Strong.

I Had Two Cars Repossessed, Tons Of Debt. I Had A Horrible Job That Was Damaging To My Soul. After Being On Three Different Labels And Knowing Everyone And Hearing Yeses And Nos And "you're It!" Or "you're S - T!" I Was Depressed. But I Never Took No For An Answer And Really Believed In Myself.

Cause I Am A Champion, And You're Gonna Hear Me Roar

I Believe In A Lot Of Astrology. I Believe In Aliens. I Look Up Into The Stars And I Imagine: How Self-important Are We To Think That We Are The Only Life-form?

All This Money Can't Buy Me A Time Machine.

I Just Like Having Fun.

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 Was A Hop-around. I Hung Out With The Rockabilly Crew, The Guys Who Were Trying To Be Rappers, The Funny Kids.

I Believe That I Will Be Loved Again, In The Right Way. I Know I'm Worth It.

My Parents Are Very Quirky, Eccentric. They Have Their Own World.

I've Always Been Ambitious Since I Was Nine Years Old And That Was Never Going To Change.

I Feel Like I Have A Little Bit Of A Fresh Ear When Creating Music. I'm Not Trying To Be Like Anything Else, Cuz I Have No Idea What Anything Else Is Like!

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.

I Wanted To Be That Quirky Girl Who Writes Funny Songs That Still Have Meaning.

There Are Times I Go Out And Meet People And Flirt, But It's Not Really Appropriate To Have Anything Serious.

My Mother Is Very Emotional As Well, But My Dad Is More Of The Guts Of The Family. He Was The Main Preacher, So He Kind Of Had This Little Pentecostal Flair, But They Are Born-again.

Unfortunately, I Think A Lot Of People Are Affected More By The Idea Of Fame Than The Actual Work Ethic Involved. A Lot Of Them Just Want To Be Reality Tv-type People Who Don't Do Anything.

No Regrets, Just Love. We Can Dance Until We Die. You And I, We'll Be Young Forever!

I Wasn't Allowed To Listen To A Lot Of Music Growing Up. It Wasn't Until I Started To Make My Gospel Record When I Was Around 14 Or 15 That I Started To Be Exposed To More Outside Influences.

Acceptance Is The Key To Be Truly Free.

I've Just Always Been Very Aware And Careful Of Everything, So That I Can Be Ready For The Perfect Opportunities As They Come. I Don't Take Anything For Granted Or Wait For Anything To Come To Me.

You Never Know What's Actually Going On In A Person's Life. You Don't Know What Happened To Them Before You Met Them...and That's Why They Are The Way They Are. But I Do Think About It Whenever I Get In Contact With My Fans. I Know This May Be The Only Time They'll Ever Meet Me. I Try To Take Advantage Of That Moment And Be Kind And Grateful.

For Me Especially, I Always Have A Very Cheery Disposition And That's How I've Always Come Off. So I Forget That Doesn't Really Allow Me To Have A Bad Mood.

I Think Sometimes When Children Grow Up, Their Parents Grow Up. Mine Grew Up With Me. We Coexist. I Don't Try To Change Them Anymore, And I Don't Think They Try To Change Me. We Agree To Disagree.

Boom, Boom, Boom, Even Brighter Than The Moon, Moon, Moon, It's Always Been Inside Of You, You, You And Now It's Time To Let It Through, Ooh, Ooh. Cause, Baby, You're A Firework Come On, Show 'em What You're Worth Make 'em Go, "oh! Oh! Oh!" As You Shoot Across The Sky-y-y. Baby, You're A Firework Come On, Let Your Colors Burst Make 'em Go, "oh! Oh! Oh!" You're Gonna Leave 'em Fallin' Down-own-own.

Using Blasphemy As Entertainment Is As Cheap As A Comedian Telling A Fart Joke.

I'm Going To Let Love Lead The Way, Always. And I Was Born With This Blind - Blind Ambition, And It's Kind Of Gotten Me Here To This Point. And I Think That I'll Stick To It.

I Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

My Singing Is Really Important To Me, But When Children Come Along They'll Be My Main Focus. I'd Never Put My Career In Front Of My Babies - It'd Be A Case Of Fitting Jobs Around Them.

Kids Are So Smart These Days. They Sense When There's A Phony Bologna Out There. Especially In Music, When They See Something That's Being Marketed To Them, They'll Call It Out. They'll Be Like, "this Chick Is Bullshit."

I Was Raised In A Super-sheltered Atmosphere Where We Didn't Watch Anything Besides Trinity Broadcasting Network - Which Was Called Tbn - Or The Fox News Channel.

I Hate Working Out, But I Love Jumping Rope. Theres A Rhythm. It's Like Dancing.

I'm Not Coming Out Trying To Prove Anything To Anyone, Like, 'oh, I'm In Assless Chaps!' Or 'i Can't Be Tamed!' I've Already Been Through That Phase. I Started At 23, You Know?

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

A Lot Of The Time People Don't Even Know What They Want Until They See Something New.

I've Lived Such A Great, Fantastic Life Already, But There's Still So Much More.

I'm Really Happy To Be On The Cover As A Strong Female Who Has Created Her Own Career.

I'm Okay With Having Bad Dance Moves. I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth. That's What Makes Me Me, And For Some Reason It's Worked Out All Right.

Baby You're A Firework, Come On, Let Your Colors Burst!!

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.

I Just Want To Make It Very Clear That I Come From Very Humble Beginnings, And I Worked For Everything!

Humble Beginnings

I Just Changed As A Person And Have Always Been Changing Constantly From Fifteen To Twenty-three.

I Called Record Prism Because I Actually Finally Let The Light In And Then I Was Able To Create All These Songs That Were Inspired By Letting The Light In And Doing Some Self-reflection And Just Kind Of Working On Myself.

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 Need A Man Who Tells Me The Party's Over, That It's Time To Go Home, Because [we] Have To Work In The Morning.

There Are A Lot Of Things That Are Personally Uncomfortable To Show, Especially Me Without Makeup And Completely Bloated Or Crying. But I’ve Realized That It’s Time For Me To Show My Audience That You Don’t Have To Be Perfect To Achieve Your Dreams. Because Nobody Relates To Being Perfect.

One Thing I Can't Do, And I Hope That There Are Other People Out There That Feel The Same Way, Is Climb A Rope. Oh My Gosh, It's So Hard To Climb Rope! It's All About Grip And Arms.

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From. I Never Took Part In The Rules And Hatred That Sometimes Go Along With Religion. But If My Parents Are Happy With What They Believe, Then I'm Happy To Stay Out Of Their Way. We Agree To Disagree.

They Think That I Was Like Amy Grant, When Actually No! The Label Went Bankrupt And Maybe Sold A Couple Hundred Records And That's About It. I Was Just Trying Different Things.

Trying Different Things

I Have A Confidence Because My Research Shows That I Should Just Really Trust My Instincts.

I'm Either Going To Go Completely Mental, Completely Bankrupt, Or Have The Best Success Of My Life.

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.

Agree To Disagree

If You Have A Dream You Gotta Go On A Journey To Fulfill That Dream.

I Say What I Think. I'm A Real Person, Not Some Manufactured Pop Tart Who's Afraid To Step Out Of The Hotel Room. I Am Flawed. I Swear, I Have The Occasional Cocktail, I Pick My Nose And I Fart. I'm Not Running For Any Presidential Campaign At The Moment. I'm A Sassy Girl.

I Think Rihanna Always Looks So Fresh And I'm Like, "how Do You Do That? We All Know How Much Pot You Smoke!"

Even If You Actually Have The Good Intent To Do Something Creative Or Special With Your Life, It's Hard. I Mean, Look At The Number Of People Who Actually Get The Opportunity.

I Wanted It To Be Like Amy Grant, But It Didn't Pan Out That Way. My Label Actually Went Bankrupt, And I Was Left Without A Home.

I Missed Out On The Spice Girls. I Missed Out On All Those Big Pop Phenomenon And Missed Out Even On The Madonna Records. It's Okay, Cuz I'm Playing Catch-up On Everything Now.

We're Technology Obsessed. I Think It's Easier To Text Than To Actually Say Hi To Someone.

I Unfortunately Still Crave Chicken Mcnuggets And Bacon, Which Is The Meat Candy Of The World.

I Have A Second Chance On Life.

New York! I [love] U! You're Officially The Coolest Place On The Planet!

I Think The World Likes To Pick Apart Different Songs And Play Doctor With Songs Sometimes And Make Them Into This Big Controversial Thing.

Throw Your Stick And Stones, Throw Your Bombs And Your Blows, But You're Not Gonna Break My Soul.

I See Everything Through A Spiritual Lens.

I Really Love Going To Shows Where I'm Sandwiched Between People, And You Don't Know If The Sweat On You Is Yours Or The Person's Next To You.

I Fall In Love Every Time. And I Don't Really Fall In Love A Lot, But When I Do, I Fall Hard.

Falling In Love

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 Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation.

I'm Not Ashamed, Or Embarrassed. I'm Happy That I Grew Up Listening To Gospel Music And Came From Where I Came From. I Feel Like I Have A History And A Story. That's What I Am And That's What I'll Always Be From. I Was Never Running Away From It.

My Personality Is Up And Down, Sassy And Cheeky.

I Had This Lump In My Throat, But I Couldn't Even Cry. I Thought, I Shouldn't Have Gotten My Hopes Up. I Was Just Sitting There In My Car That I Was Two Months Behind On Payments For, Knowing I Didn't Have Money For Rent.

Maybe I'm Competitive. I Just Feel Like I Have This Gift That I've Been Given. It's Like, "someone Unwrap It! Here It Is!" That Drive Can't Be Held Down. I Have A Lot Of Ambition.

I Think That You Should Definitely Listen To What People Say, Because Everyone Says It: High School Is Not The Real World.

People Love The Idea Of A Good Girl Gone Bad, Thinking That My Parents Were So Strict And Disowned Me, But That Actually Wasn't The Case. Even Though They Don't Necessarily Agree With Some Of The Things I Do, They Love Me As Their Daughter. That's Always Been Their Perspective.

At My Second Record Label, They Told Me And Other Female Artists That Some Of Us Were Going On The Chopping Block. I Was 19... And It Was Devastating.

You Don't Have To Feel Like A Waste Of Space, Your Original Can Not Be Replaced

The Records Are Black Boxes For Me. Like, If You Want To Know Who I Am, My Views, My Perspective, Things I Love, Things I Hate, My Convictions, My Anthems. I've Never Let People's Opinions Affect The Way I Write.

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 Sacrifice In My Love Life And My Social Life, But Those Things Will Be There In Three Or Four Years. This Is A Really Important Time In My Life. I Can't Just Be The Girl Who Sang 'i Kissed A Girl.' I Have To Leave A Legacy.

If People Want A Role Model, They Can Have Miley Cyrus.

You Could Travel The World, But Nothing Comes Close To The Golden Coast. Once You Party With Us, You'll Be Falling In Love, Oooooh Oh Oooooh!

Falling In Love

Be Yourself, That’s What Makes The World Go Round!

I Grew Up Raised In Church, My Parents Are Both Traveling Ministers. They Blocked Out Mtv Which Was Fine, But I'd Find Myself Figuring Out Who New Kids On The Block Were.

Not To Sound Overly Cheesy But I Really Appreciate The Freedom We Have In America - Especially As A Female.

With Songs, I've Always Pledged To Be Honest. I Write My Songs Because I've Lived Them.

I Was, Like, Just Eating Flamin' Hot Cheetos And Drinking, And That's It.

I Love Those Documentaries Where Everyone Is Fabulous And Always Perfect.

I Did A Lot Of Thrift And Vintage. I Would Mix Those Pieces Into Some Of The More Inexpensive Items From Express, Gap, Old Navy, And Clothestime.

I Can't Rate Myself, But If You Ask Russell I'm Sure He'd Give Me A Ten Out Of Ten.

I Like A Good Boy, But Sometimes You Get Bored.

I'm On This Extraordinary Adventure, And If I Have No One To Talk To At The End Of The Night, I Feel Lonely.

You Have To Spend A Lot To Make A Lot. It's Not Like I'm Sitting On Top Of A Pile Of Money.

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Girl, We Keep All Our Promises, The Us Against The World, In Another Life, I Would Make You Stay, So I Don't Have To Say You Were The One That Got Away The One That Got Away

I Went From Zero To My Own Hero

I Have A Lot Of Ambition.

I'm Every Woman. It Takes A Village To Make Me Who I Am.

It Takes A Village

I Came From A Different Mind-set Growing Up, And My Mind Has Changed.

Hollywood Is So Fake And People Need To Realize That People Are Just People, And You, Too, Don't Need To Be Born Into Something Or Have Money Or Have Whatever Product Someone Is Hawking On You.

I Did My Gospel Record, But There Was Nothing Really Of It. Maybe A Hundred People Bought It. But It's One Of Those Things On The Internet That People Find And They Make Into A Big Deal.

The Internet Is Such A Strange Place. You Can Put Up One Thing On There Like, Katy Perry Was A Taekwondo Master Of The Black Belt! When Really All I Did Was One Kickboxing Class. That's How I Think My Short Time In Doing My Gospel Record Was Like.

I Like To Go Out There Looking Like A Strong Woman, Because I Am Strong. But I Am Also A Woman Who Goes Through All Kinds Of Problems And Highs And Lows.

I Consider Myself A Believer In Something Much Bigger Than Myself, Thank God.

I Love The Seahawks Because Of Russell [wilson] And I Think That I'm Going To Probably Go For Them!

I’m Not Buddhist, I’m Not Hindu, I’m Not Christian, But I Still Feel Like I Have A Deep Connection With God.

I Am Not A Feminist, But I Do Believe In The Strength Of Women.

I'm Just Singing About My Own Life. Singing About All The Little Stories In My Life And The Things I've Been Through.

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 Wasn't Going To Great Schools, Because My Parents Didn't Believe In Public Education. They Wanted The Education To Be Influenced By Their Religion, So I Was Going To These Halfway Education-slash-christian Schools That Were Like Pop-up Shop-style Education.

I'm A Good Girl Because I Really Believe In Love, Integrity, And Respect.

I Think Some People Will Die On The Stage, And I'm Not So Sure I Want To Do That. Like, I Want To Have Kids! I'm Totally Fine With Saying That. I Think Some People Are Scared Because They're Worried It's Going To Ruin Their Career, But I Want To Live A Full Life.

Touring Is Always Important To Me. It's Like A Big Iou To My Fans, Because I Know They Are The Reason I Exist.

You Think I'm Pretty Without Any Make-up On You Think I'm Funny When I Tell The Punch Line Wrong I Know You Get Me So I'll Let My Walls Come Down, Down.

My Religious Upbringing Was Comically Strict — Even The Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaner Was Banned. In Our House, No One Was Allowed To Refer To Deviled Eggs. We Had To Call Them Angelic Eggs. We Were Never Allowed To Swear. I'd Get Into Trouble Just For Saying 'hell No'. If You Dropped A Hammer On Your Toe In Our House You Had To Say Something Like 'jiminy Christmas'. The Only Music We Were Allowed To Listen To Was Gospel. No Wonder I Rebelled.

So Take A Chance And Don't Ever Look Back.

The Media, Is Media. You Always Have To Take The Media With A Grain Of Salt. You Can't Believe Everything You Read.

I Didn't Come Here To Run For President. I Really Just Came Here To Play Rock And Roll.

I Always Tell My Fans That Are Closest To Me, If It's Not Coming From My Mouth, My Website, Or My Appointed Person, Then It's Generally Not True. Or It's An Exaggeration.

People Always Ask Me, 'what Is It That You Regret?' And I Say, 'nothing, Because I Could Not Buy What I've Learned.' And I Apply Those Things To My Life I Learn. And Hopefully, Hopefully It Helps Me To Be A Better Human In The Future And Make Better Choices.

Beautiful Mind, Tortured Soul. I Do Have To Figure Out Why I Am Attracted To These Broken Birds.

Now I’m Floating Like A Butterfly Stinging Like A Bee I Earned My Stripes I Went From Zero, To My Own Hero

Last Friday Night; Yeah We Danced On Tabletops. And We Took Too Many Shots. Think We Kissed, But I Forgot?

I Just Wanna Throw My Phone Away And Find Out Who Is Really There For Me

I'm An Emotional Person. I Love Music That Moves Me And Makes The Hair On My Arms Stand Up. And I Want The Same Thing In Relationships. Either You Can Keep Up Or You Can't.

I Was Like, I Don't Know If I Can Hold That Promise [to Wait Until Marriage To Have Sex] Because This Guy At Camp Is Really Cute. Sex Wasn't Talked About In My Home, But I Was A Very Curious Young Girl.

I Have A Soft Spot For Musicians. If A Man Could Ride This Roller Coaster With Me And Come Out Alive, Then I Guess We'd Deserve Each Other's Company.

I Will Love You Unconditionally .

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

I Remember Really Vividly Kneeling By My Bed As A Nine-year-old, Saying My Prayers And Asking God To Give Me Boobs That Were So Big That If I Laid On My Back I Wouldn't Be Able To See My Feet.

I'd Go To The Farmers' Market In Santa Barbara, And I'd Put Out My Guitar Case, And I'd Test Out These Little Ditty Songs That I Would Write, And I Would Get A Couple Of Avocados, A Bag Of Pistachios, And, Like, Fifteen Bucks. That Was A Lot Of Money For Me.

I Never Want To Be Just One Thing - I Want To Be Multidimensional.

I Don't Need The Prince Charming To Have My Own Happy Ending.

Independent Women

I Have Multipersonality Disorder - In A Very Good Way, Of Course - When It Comes To My Fashion Choices.

I Don't Feel Like I'm Very Pop-star Lame, But I'm Definitely Not Hipster-cool.

What I Wanted To Be And Who I Am Is A Singer And A Songwriter. I Wanted To Be Onstage, And I Wanted The World To Hear My Music. The Product Of That Is Fame And The Disgusting Celebrity That Goes Along With It. But Celebrity Does Not Equal Creativity.

If You're Presenting Yourself With Confidence, You Can Pull Off Pretty Much Anything.

I'm Happy, I'm In A Good Place, I'm Looking Forward To My Future.

Looking Forward

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've Actually Always Wanted To Make Something Like An Acoustic Record.

You Know You're Living Right When You Wake Up, Brush Your Hair - And Confetti Falls Out!

I Still Believe In Love, Most Definitely. I'm Just Going To Let That Take The Lead.

Believe In Love

This Is The City That Taught Me How To Write All Of These Cool Songs. Yeah, You Guys Definitely Need A Royalty.

Like My Freedom. If I Feel Like I'm Being Controlled, I Get Crazy. Because I Know I Made It This Far By Following My Intuition. I Think People Like Who I Am, And I Like Who I Am, And I Want To Be A Better Version Of Myself Every Single Day. So Stop Controlling Me!

I Think That A Lot Of Teenagers Think They Got It All Down-pat. Especially When They First Move Out And They're On Their Own For The First Time. Oh This Is Easy, This Is Breezy. Then All Of A Sudden It Hits You In Your Mid-twenties That Maybe You Don't Know How To Do Your Taxes Still. There's All Kinds Of Things And You Start Calling Your Parents Up Again.

I Have A Soft Spot For Women, I'm Not Afraid Of It, Some Women Walk Into The Room, And They're So Beautiful And You're Like, 'i Wanna Smell You' You Know?

It Can Be The Most Difficult Thing To Do, But Love Conquers Fear And Love Conquers Hate And This Love That You Choose Will Give You Strength And It's Our Greatest Power.

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

I'm Not Buddhist, I'm Not Hindu, I'm Not Christian, But I Still Feel Like I Have A Deep Connection With God. I Pray All The Time — For Self-control, For Humility. There's A Lot Of Gratitude In It. Just Saying 'thank You' Sometimes Is Better Than Asking For Things.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

My Style Icons Were Gwen Stefani, When She Was In No Doubt, And Then Shirley Manson In Garbage.

I've Done A Lot Of Bad Things. Use Your Imagination.

I Think That Everybody That's Coming Out To Warped Tour, When They Come To See The Show, They're Always Like; Let's Go See That Band That Band That Band And... That Girl. I Think That I Tend To Be That Girl Sometimes And I Think That It's Cool That I Get To Hang Out With This Summer Camp Of Smelly Boys.

I Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

I Was Being Musically Mentored By A Lot Of People Who Were Obviously More Talented And Skilled Than I Was, And I Thought That I Would Just Kind Of Learn The Ropes Of Songwriting There - Like How To Do Acoustic, Country-esque Songs, Which I Like Because There's So Much Story In Them.

I Am A Pop Girl! And I'm On A Major Label. I Enjoy Singing Pop Songs.

Be Yourself & You Can Be Anything.

The Past Is Like A Handful Of Dust. It Filters Through Your Fingers, Disappearing Little By Little. I Wish, For One Day, I Could Go Back. In Another Life I Would Do Things Differently.

I Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

Sometimes I Can Be Distracted By The Glamour And The Fabulousness.

If You Like My Music, Great, And If You Don't, Whatever. I'm Going To Keep Making It Either Way.

Now It's Clear To Me/ That Everything You See/ Ain't Always What It Seems.

Cause When I'm With Him I Am Thinking Of You.

Thinking Of You

I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.
