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 just want to give people something to dance to, and something to cry to, and laugh to and fall in love to.

I had an epiphany where I realised that there are song titles everywhere - in advertising, in conversations with people at the grocery store - and every time I open my mind to that and find titles, I then weave a story around that.

I think one day I'd like to win an Oscar.

I'd like to go the Cher route and act and sing and write and have a TV show and do it all.

It's just funny that anybody would care at all to take apart the words that I write. It's kind of cool!

I love writing with Adam Lambert. He's really funny and very fun, he's a great friend.
