I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.
My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.
My parents are very quirky, eccentric. They have their own world.
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 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.
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.
I had no clue they would fall into my armpits eventually.
I wish that I was looking into your eyes.
My heart beat Beats me senselessly Why’s everything Gotta be so intense with me...
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 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 can’t be the candy queen forever.
I think that you should definitely listen to what people say, because everyone says it: High school is not the real world.
I’d never devote a whole record to heartbreak.
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.
How do I get better once I’ve had the best?
I still have a spiritual base and a spiritual foundation.
I just like having fun.
I just have so much love for my record label.
Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as ‘Pass the salt.’ It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God.
I think it’s great to dress up and play on all the girly features.
