I think it's really great when you stand up for something that you really believe, even if you get heat for it.

I'm a risk taker and I've always been like that, especially when it comes to fashion.

I talk openly about my past and what I've gone through - abuse being something that was very real in my household, and a lot of chaos growing up as a child. I think that I naturally just gravitated towards music that I could really feel on a deep level - and that meant sadness. I was able to connect with that at a really young age.

You used to have to sing and convey emotion, and now, well, technically you can do anything with technology. It sucks for music today, but that's why that old music feels so good to me.

I felt caged by my childhood.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.

I have fun being sexy and tough at the same time.
