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

My songs aren't bubble gum pop dance songs and I don't have background dancers on every single song.

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.

It's so different now coming out as a new artist today than it was when I came out almost ten years ago. Now, it's all about singles, it's really quick, it's online. I came out when people sold records and they still do today but - I don't know what the key is.

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.

I think it's awesome.

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