I think I have a very nice demeanor, but at the same time, when pushed, I will freak out. I have a backbone, but I don't feel like I'm terrible about it.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

I used to want to be the quickest, loudest, and sharpest. I think as time has gone on, I've gotten more relaxed.

Think with your heart, speak with your soul.

I don't know if people feel this way, but I think by nature that when you start off as a young pop singer, they assume that you're a bit pampered, prissy, and precious, or that you live in a bubble and not in the real world. For me that's not the case.

I spent a lot of my life schlepping around New York with people not doing things for me.

This business is about working. It's really not about glamour. For me, the most glamorous thing about it is to b able to get on stage and perform my music for people. That's the privilege. And that's what all the work leads up to, and that's why it's worth it to me.
