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.

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

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 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.

I Think That Maybe People Comment On The Internet Because They Never Know If They're Going To Be Able To Meet That One Person And They Want To Have A Say So, Or What Have-you.

That One Person

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.

My Fans Are The Best. I Mean If There Was A War, I Think They'd Definitely Win Just Because They'd Kill Them With Kindness.

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 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.

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.

Oh! Oh!" You're Gonna Leave 'em Fallin' Down-own-own.

I Really Like To Look Like A History Book. I Can Look 1940s, I Can Look 1970s Hippie-chic, Or Sometimes I'll Pull That '80s Brooklyn Hip-hop Kid With The Door-knocker Earrings.

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 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!

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.

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

I Think It's Great To Dress Up And Play On All The Girly Features.

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.

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 Personality Is Up And Down, Sassy And Cheeky.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

The Media Tried To Destroy My Parents And Has Taken Things Completely Out Of Context, But There's Not A Whole Lot You Can Do In Terms Of Fighting Back. You Have To Hope That It Passes, Which It Always Does. But They Have To Be Careful. They Didn't Necessarily Sign Up For This.

When I Was Meeting People In L.a., Guys Always Thought If They Paid For Dinner, They Deserved A Blow Job. But Generally, I'll Say This - And I'll Say It Proudly - I Can't Sleep With Someone If I Don't Have A Connection With Them.

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

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

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

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

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.

I Crushed On The Most Popular Guy In School! I Saw Him At A Concert And I Shouted Out," Is That Shane Lopes? You Were The Most Popular Guy In My Class, But You Never Wanted To Go Out With Me. Instead It Was Amanda Wayne. What Are You Thinking Now?

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

Independent Women

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

I Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation. And My Conversation With God Is Very Open-ended. I Pray For Humility, Honestly, Because It's Very Easy To Be Caught Up In This World.

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

I Just Feel Like I'm Going To Be Criticized Regardless Of What I Do Next, So I Might As Well Do Something That I Feel Really Passionate About.

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?

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.

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

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

I Got A Fantastic Person To Work Me Out And Get Me Into Really Good Shape.

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.

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.'

Remember Where You Came

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

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.'

Sometimes If You Want To Achieve Something Great, There Will Be Curveballs. You Just Have To Dodge Them Every Once In A While.

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.

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

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

I'd Never Devote A Whole Record To Heartbreak.

I Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation.

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

All Women Are Created Equal, Then Some Become Мarines.

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

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.

My Career Is Like An Artichoke. People Might Think That The Leaves Are Tasty And Buttered Up And Delicious, And They Don't Even Know That There's Something Magical Hidden At The Base Of It. There's A Whole Other Side Of Me That People Didn't Know Existed.

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

Many People Think I Try To Be Like Lady Gaga But What They Don't Know Is That I'm A Britney Spears Wanna Be.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be Yourself And You Can Be Anything.

Positive Attitude

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

I'm Still Driving Along On The Pop Freeway Of Life. Thinking Even Further Into The Future, I Definitely Want To Make An Acoustic Record. I Want To Try Lots Of Different Things.

When I Kissed A Girl, Nobody Was Around. So I Didn't Do It For Anybody. I'm Not A Lesbian. I Encourage Anybody To Try Anything, Just Make Sure You Have Integrity And Character. It Doesn't Matter Who Anyone Loves. I Am For Gay Rights And I Also Have A Boyfriend.

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

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

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 Think You Become More Relatable When You're Vulnerable.

I Just Have So Much Love For My Record Label.

I'm Up To My Hairline In Planning. It's A Lot, Especially When You're A Woman Of Detail.

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 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 Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

I Came From A Lot Of Intolerance And Prejudice, Which Aren't Necessarily Healthy To Evolve As A Human.

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.

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.

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

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.

Recycle Those Nerves And Make Them Adreneline.

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

Looking Forward

I'll Continue To Try And Balance Like A Circus Act. And I Will Just Fight To Always Tell The Truth. Even If It's Difficult.

Talking About The Future, Like We Had A Clue. Never Plans That One Day, I'd Be Losing You

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

There's A Spark In You You've Just Gotta Ignite The Light And Let It Shine.

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

I Am A Gay Activist And I Say That Proudly. I Voted No On Prop 8.

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.

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

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

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

I Will Love You Unconditionally .

I Love What I Do, And When I Don't Love What I Do, I'll Make A Change...i Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

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 Have Always Been The Kid Who's Asked 'why?' In My Faith, You're Just Supposed To Have Faith. But I Was Always Like... Why?

And I Know, There Is Nothing That I Would Not Do For You, Forever Be True, And I Know, Although Times Can Be Hard We Will See It Through, I'm Forever In Love With You.

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.

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

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.

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.

Sometimes, You Promise Someone Forever, But It Doesn't Work That Way.

Do You Ever Feel Like A Plastic Bag, Drifting Throught The Wind, Wanting To Start Again. Do You Ever Feel, Feel So Paper Thin, Like A House Of Cards, One Blow From Caving In.

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

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

I See Everything Through A Spiritual Lens.

I Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

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 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.

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

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

I Just Like Having Fun.

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.

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

I Am So Grateful For All The Love And Support I've Had From People Around The World.

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

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

Comparisons Are Easily Done, Once You've Had A Taste Of Perfection

Divorce Was Emotionally Traumatic For Me. It Was The Death Of A Dream. I Was In Fairytale Land, And The Reality Of It Wasn't So. But I Don't Really Like Talking About It Anymore, Because It Feels Like A Thousand Lifetimes Ago, And Also It Makes Me Look Desperate, Like I Need It For Attention.

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 Was Really Sick And I Walked Outside Of The Bus And Realised; Oh No I'm Not Allowed To Be Sick. I'm Not Allowed To Say; Sorry No I Can't Pose With You For A Photo Because I'm Sick. I Am A Super Human Now, Or I Have To Be One.

I Am Not A Feminist, But I Do Believe In The Strength Of Women... This Social Revolution Of Feminism In The '70s Really Achieved So Many Of Its Goals-not Every Single One Of Them, Obviously-but I Think We Should Say It's Great That These Young Women Don't Feel Like They Need To Be Feminists.

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.

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

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Girl. Capable Of Making Promises. We Would Rule The World.

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

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

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 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 Have A Second Chance On Life.

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

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.

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

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

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'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.

I Went From Zero To My Own Hero

I Can't Just Be The Girl Who Sang 'i Kissed A Girl.' I Have To Leave A Legacy.

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.

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

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

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

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