It's an amazing thing to say, 'I'm beautiful,' without feeling like you're cocky.

There's a witch under this hair. The red lips are - I don't want to call them "armor," but they're the clothes of my character, and I'm in the business of entertainment. Wearing red lipstick helps get me into that world.

I embraced being a pop artist, but I like doing it on my own terms, at my own pace.

I feel things deeply.

It's definitely a dream come true to be recognized and to be able to sign autographs. But, it's also a lot of hard work and can be draining. If you don't know already, you will quickly learn who your real friends are.

Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.

Whatever I do, it's my business. It's not my job to parent America.
