After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.

I think theatricality is just one way of performing. I don't think it's a better way or the way, but it's my way.

My mother was always supportive.

I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.

I think sometimes we're meant to do something but things aren't lined up correctly.

I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader.

I think the responsibility of pop stars is to liberate the masses. In that everyone can be whatever they wanna be. You can march to your own beat. It's so hard sometimes in our country because conformity is the way things are pushed.
