More From Katy Perry

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 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.

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

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

Thank You For Believing In My Weirdness!

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.

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

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

In Another Life, I Would Be Your Belle

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.

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

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

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

I Just Like Having Fun.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Be Yourself & You Can Be Anything.

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.

Never Say Never

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

You Said Move On, Where Do I Go?

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

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

I Have A Second Chance On Life.

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 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.'

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 You Become More Relatable When You're Vulnerable.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 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?

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

Humble Beginnings

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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 Kinda Saving Myself For Miley Cyrus.

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.

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

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 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 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?

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

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

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

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 Will Love You Unconditionally .

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.'

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

After A Hurricane, Comes A Rainbow.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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'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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Thinking Of You

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 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.

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

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

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 Still Have A Spiritual Base And A Spiritual Foundation.

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

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.

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 Feel Really Blessed Because Of Where I Come From.

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.

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 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 Love Those Documentaries Where Everyone Is Fabulous And Always Perfect.

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.

But Of Course I Love My Japanese Fans And The Show Must Go On, No Matter The Daily Aftershocks Or Husband Kidnappings! It's Not Right But It's Okay

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

Looking Forward

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?

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

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'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.

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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

I See Everything Through A Spiritual Lens.

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

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

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

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

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

I 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 Really Wanted To Call This Album Teenage Wet Dream.

I'm Okay With Having Horrible Lower Teeth.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Independent Women

Find Out What Your Gift Is And Nurture It.

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

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

I'm Competitive With Myself, And That Goes Hand In Hand With How I Present Myself. I'm Not Only Trying To Put One Foot In Front Of The Other, I'm Trying To Put My Best Foot Forward.

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

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 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

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

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.

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

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 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.

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 Not Defined By Where I Came From.

Agree To Disagree

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

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.

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

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'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.

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.

Be Yourself And You Can Be Anything.

Positive Attitude

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."

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

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.

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

I Wish That I Was Looking Into Your Eyes

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 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 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.

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

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

Believe In Love

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

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

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