I was writing songs as a kid about leprechauns and Catwoman and teapots - whatever it is that little girls wanna sing about.

In my head, I wanted to be Madonna, but the music I was writing on paper was not what you'd choreograph dancers in costumes to. It was more coffee-house stuff.

Maybe I'd like to be a little more than friends with Ryan Gosling, but I'd just like to hang out occasionally.

It's nice to really have the freedom to write what I want.

Ke$ha is super talented and super fun and always down to party - I love that girl.

It's really liberating and fun to be writing stuff for myself, and really have the freedom to say what I want to say and not really have to think about what somebody else is going to say or have to edit myself to speak from someone else's vision.

I think I've learnt a lot about bullying and how to deal with bullying and how to get over that and to just be yourself and forget the haters.
