To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.

Just because you're famous doesn't mean you're something special and you're above other people.

I was signed by L.A. Reid on Arista Records when I was 16. He understood me and believed in me. Arista folded and I got put on RCA or whatever, then there were new people there, and every six months it changes and more new people come in.

My whole lifestyle is different. I have a really busy schedule, and I pretty much have an airplane ride every day. But I like it. It's cool. I like being busy. I think that it's good that I'm young and I'm going through this, and I'm not, like, 40. I think it's just easier now at a younger age to be going through what I'm going through because it's definitely really tiring and hard on the body.

Don't like me for who I am? Then you don't like me for who I am. And all you're gonna get is who I am.

People are like, 'Well, she doesn't know the Sex Pistols.' Why would I know that stuff? Look how young I am. That stuff's old, right?

I'm a little fighter and I stand up for what I believe in.
