I've always felt my spirit animal was a Tiger, so it's funny that now in 'Roar' with Katy Perry - which is a song we write together - there's the line: "I got the eye of the Tiger..." So I feel like there's a little bit of me in there.

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

I tend to get a little quirkier and crazier with my lyrics and come from a different angle when I'm writing for myself.

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

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

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.
