More From Katy Perry

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

I Went From Zero To My Own Hero

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

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.

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

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.

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'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.

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

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!

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

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.

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'm Definitely Not Trying To Be, Or Am, A Poster Child For Anything So Structured. But I Do Have My Own Personal Faith Most Definitely.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

I Just Like Having Fun.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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 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?

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.

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

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

Looking Forward

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

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

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

Recycle Those Nerves And Make Them Adreneline.

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

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

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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."

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

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 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'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 Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation.

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

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 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 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.

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

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

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 You Become More Relatable When You're Vulnerable.

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 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.'

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.

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

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

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

Humble Beginnings

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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 Love Hearing My Song On The Radio The First Time, But When It Comes On Again, I Change The Station. I Already Have So Much Of The Spotlight On Me. I Don't Need Any More.

I'd Like To Say I'd Like To Be As Big As A Gwen Or A Madonna, But I Think Those Days Of Achieving That Level Are Over. The Media Is Bringing Everybody Down.

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."

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

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

I Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

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 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.

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

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.

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

My Personality Is Up And Down, Sassy And Cheeky.

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

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

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

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

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 Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

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.

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 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 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 Have A Lot Of Ambition.

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.

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

Acceptance Is The Key To Be Truly Free.

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 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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

I Just Have So Much Love For My Record Label.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Independent Women

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Believe In Love

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

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.

Be Yourself And You Can Be Anything.

Positive Attitude

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.'

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

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'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.

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 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.

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 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?

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 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 Can Assure You, Nothing In My Performance Will Be Deflated

I Think When You Put Sex And Spirituality In The Same Bottle And Shake It Up, Bad Things Happen.

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

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.

My Job Is For The People. It's For The Public. It's For Their Consumption. So I've Done A Lot In That Way, And I See That The Hard Work Has Finally Paid Off.

I Have A Second Chance On Life.

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

I Can't Be The Candy Queen Forever.

Honesty Has Always Worked For Me.

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

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 A Woman Who Likes To Be Courted, Strongly. Never Say Never, I Guess You'd Say. I'll Let Love Take The Lead On That.

Never Say Never

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 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.

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 Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

I Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

People Talk About Bullying, But You Can Be Your Own Bully In Some Ways. You Can Be The Person Who Is Standing In The Way Of Your Success, And That Was The Case For Me.

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

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

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.

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

Thinking Of You

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.

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

Thank You For Believing In My Weirdness!

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.

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.

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

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

It Takes A Village

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

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

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

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.

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'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

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 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.

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