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

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

No matter what, I always have expensive designer shoes. It's all about the shoes for me.

There's a feeling that you get when you write songs where... it feels like it's destined to do something. Then sometimes you get that feeling with a song and it never goes anywhere, that happens all the time too, so you never really know.

I think the difference between a good song and a great song is... honestly, I think the lyrics, because if you have a really solid melody and solid track and everything is there but then the lyric is just okay, then you've got a good song.

As long as I can reach somebody, then I feel like I'm doing my job.

Every time I work with Dr. Luke I learn something new. He's kind of like the Andy Warhol of pop music, where he mass produces his art but it always still has heart and always still has an emotional thread to it. I think he's really a genius and I'm so lucky to have gotten to work with him.
