In real life I'm pretty easy going and pretty chill, I'm not the party girl who will go wild and crazy necessarily.

Cheating is bad. That's a big mistake I've made, and I've really hurt people. I've never lied about it, though. I've always been honest.

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

Sometimes I write a song and I'm down with it but I'm like yeah, whatever, and then everybody loves it and then it blows up. I'm like: "Okay! I didn't see that coming."

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

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

I've been close friends with Katy since teenagers, before she was Katy Perry. She's always been a great resource for me to pull from and watch - from her choice of how public she wants to be about her personal life on down. I also watched her develop from the coffee-house singer-songwriter I knew to her be to playing arenas and killing it.
