I Guess I Prefer To Play Live, But I Don't Want To Have Only Live Cds. I Like Playing Live Because There Are Alot Of Things That Can Happen. I Can Interact With The Audience And Say Some Things To Get Me In Trouble. On The Other Hand, The Studio Is Nice Because You Can Really Take Your Time And Make Something That You Know Is The Best Thing That You Can Ever Do. But Nothing Beats Being Up On Stage In Front Of All That Energy.

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

I Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

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.

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.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Be Yourself & You Can Be Anything.

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

Days Of The Week

Fame Is, I Think, Just A Disgusting By-product Of What I Do.

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

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 Went From Zero To My Own Hero

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 Have A Lot Of Ambition.

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 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.

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.

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

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!

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

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 Can Assure You, Nothing In My Performance Will Be Deflated

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

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'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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 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.

You Dig Deep Beyond Those Scars And Find That Soft Tissue Again, And You Massage And Nurture It And Bring It To Life, Little By Little, Through Serving Yourself Well. I Did It Through Hikes And Vitamins And Therapy And Prayer And Good Friends.

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

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 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.

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.

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

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.

I Guess I Prefer To Play Live, But I Don't Want To Have Only Live Cds. I Like Playing Live Because There Are Alot Of Things That Can Happen. I Can Interact With The Audience And Say Some Things To Get Me In Trouble. On The Other Hand, The Studio Is Nice Because You Can Really Take Your Time And Make Something That You Know Is The Best Thing That You Can Ever Do. But Nothing Beats Being Up On Stage In Front Of All That Energy.

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

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

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

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

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

It Takes A Village

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."

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

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.

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.

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

I Don't Care What People Say About My Relationship; I Don't Care What They Say About My Boobs. People Are Buying My Songs; I Have A Sold-out Tour. I'm Getting Incredible Feedback From My Music.

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

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

I Don't Have A Kate Moss Body, But I'm Very Proud And Happy With Mine.

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

Independent Women

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

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

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 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.

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.

I Come From A Very Non-accepting Family, But I'm Very Accepting.

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

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.

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

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

I See Everything Through A Spiritual Lens.

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.

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.

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

Im A Good Girl At Heart Who Just Wants To Have Fun.

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

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

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.

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.

Actually Living

When I Was 13, I Asked For A Guitar. And That's How I Really Started Explaining My Point Of View.

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

Believe In Love

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 Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

Santa Barbara Is My Hood. I Mean, It's Not Much Of A Hood, But It Is Definitely Like My Hood. I Claim Santa Barbara Like I Claim My Family. I'm Going To Be Married And Buried There.

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

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'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.

Thank You For Believing In My Weirdness!

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

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

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.

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.

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 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.'

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

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 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.

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.

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

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

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

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'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.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Honesty Has Always Worked For Me.

Speaking In Tongues Is As Normal To Me As 'pass The Salt' It's A Secret, Direct Prayer Language To God.

I'd Never Devote A Whole Record To Heartbreak.

I'm A Romantic And I Kinda Believed In This Fairy Tale. And In Some Ways I Think That's Always Been To My Advantage, Because Like If You Can Believe In Something Great, I Feel Like You Can Achieve Something Great.

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 Saw A Spider, I Didn't Scream 'cause I Can Belch The Alphabet Just Double Dog Dare Me And I Chose Guitar Over Ballet And I Tape These Suckers Down 'cause They Just Get In My Way The Way You Look At Me Is Kind Of Like A Little Sister You High Five Your Goodbyes And It Leaves Me Nothing But Blisters So I Don't Want To Be One Of The Boys.

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

Looking Forward

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.

I Just Like Having Fun.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

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.

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

Recycle Those Nerves And Make Them Adreneline.

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

Be Yourself And You Can Be Anything.

Positive Attitude

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