I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic. And I feel like I've accomplished a lot. I feel like I'm highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. And I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.

I went to a high school for the performing arts and I lived and breathed music. It kept me focused; it kept me sane.

With a lot of success comes a lot of negativity.

You can't put your finger on who I am. I can't put my finger on who I am.

There's ups and downs in this love. Got a lot to learn in this love. Through the good and the bad, still got love.

I don't really like to call myself a brand, and I don't like to think of myself as a brand. I'm a singer, a songwriter, a musician and a performer. And an actress, and all the other things that I do. When you add it all together, some might call it a brand, but that's not my focus.

When I was younger, there were moments where I said, 'I'm not going to have children.' And then moments when I wanted four. And now I definitely want another, but I don't know when.
