More From Katy Perry

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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 Grew Up Listening To Gospel. That Was The Only Thing That I Had Reference To Because That Was What My Family Was Involved With.

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

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 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.

Acceptance Is The Key To Be Truly Free.

I Can Assure You, Nothing In My Performance Will Be Deflated

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

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 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.

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

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 Went From Zero To My Own Hero

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.

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

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

I'm Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

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

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.

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'm Kinda Saving Myself For Miley Cyrus.

I Wish That I Was Looking Into Your Eyes

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

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.

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

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

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

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."

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.

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

I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

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

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

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.

I'm A Woman Who Likes To Be Courted - Strongly.

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.

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

Recycle Those Nerves And Make Them Adreneline.

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!

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.

Be Yourself And You Can Be Anything.

Positive Attitude

I Have To Be A Ginger For 3 Weeks.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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 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?

All Women Are Created Equal, Then Some Become Мarines.

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

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.

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

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.

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

I Just Like Having Fun. And, You Know, Sometimes I Just Like To Present Myself In That Fun Energy.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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 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.

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'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.

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.

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

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.

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

It Takes A Village

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I Will Love You Unconditionally .

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

Looking Forward

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

Humble Beginnings

I'd Never Devote A Whole Record To Heartbreak.

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

Thinking Of You

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

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

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

Honesty Has Always Worked For Me.

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

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

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

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 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.'

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

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

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

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

I Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

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

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

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

You Change Your Mind Like A Girl Changes Clothes

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

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

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 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 Just Have So Much Love For My Record Label.

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.

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

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

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'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.

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

How Do I Get Better Once I've Had The Best?

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.

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

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

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 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'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.

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.
