I have my own style that happens to be different from everyone else in Hollywood. My inspiration is me.

We have parties at my house. My girlfriends and I play our iPods, with all of our favorite songs. We pick our songs and jump up on the counter and dance, and do runway stuff, and we take video with my camera. When I'm with my girlfriends, I act like I'm 19.

There were definitely times I couldn't shower for a full week because I could barely stand, it felt like having all your life sucked out of you.

Let the rain falling on your face run into your eyes. Can you see the rainbow now through the stormy skies?

I think because I was brought up in a Christian home, I was kind of careful not to swear in my lyrics.

It's been really fun to see with each album when I change to see the fans of the show emulate my style and with the first record a lot of the kids in the crowd were wearing neck ties like I was and now you'll see a lot of girls with pink hair. It's cool, it's actually really neat.

In America, I get a lot of younger kids, but there's teens and adults too, ... In Europe, for some reason, I see a lot more males in the audience. In Japan, I don't even notice any kids, partially because they're a lot more strict about fan behavior over there.
