People like Shakira shouldnt have record contracts. She cant even speak English.

Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.

I love being in the studio. It's really great. I like it a lot. But of course, I like performing more. But when I'm in the studio mode, it's cool. I like to really focus on it.

I appreciate it everyday. I'm like, 'I can't believe this is happening to me.' I'm so thankful. I feel really lucky and really blessed. I remind myself all the time, because it can go as quickly as it came.

I pulled the burden from off my back and tossed it into the wind. And stretched my arms toward the sky and let my life begin.

Being able to express myself through music and art has always been when I feel the most alive.

I didn't just write about boys and relationships like usual. I wrote about other things: rock 'n' roll, nostalgia, Hello Kitty.
