I'm like a Sid Vicious for a new generation.

I only toured for three months. As soon as I got off [tour], I was just dying to start recording, because it was on my mind: 'I've got to make another record now.' And I was totally excited.

I'm famous, so I can't, like, really walk around in malls and stuff like that. I don't really have as much privacy.

When I can do an acoustic set, I can sit down and sing. And then when I have a huge arena full of people, there's nothing like that. It's the coolest feeling in the world, but I also like to play small intimate shows because I feel you can connect a little more. And that's something I had to learn - how to connect to a big audience versus the small one.

I'm waking up to say I tried, instead of waking up to another TV guide.

My mom made me go to a Britney Spears concert when I was young. And I was like, 'No, I don't want to!' she was like, 'You're going to be a performer, you need to see other people.'

I might look like a tough chick - and I am - but I`m also a hopeless romantic inside.
