A lot of people, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and a lot of people have written for other people, and of course Bruno Mars. So I think it's a great way to break into the industry and show people what you can do and show them your talent and people tend to listen a little differently to your own music as an artist, when you've proven yourself as a good songwriter for other artists.

When I write for myself, I just get to be myself.

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

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

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

If you can take it to the next level and really tell an interesting story in a unique and fresh way, then I feel like that's a great song.

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.
