Be yourself and you can be anything.

I sacrifice in my love life and my social life, but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

For a modern woman it is important to be supported and that there is equality in every aspect, and that it's not two halves that make a whole - it's two wholes that make a whole.

I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.

You dig deep beyond those scars and find that soft tissue again, and you massage and nurture it and bring it to life, little by little, through serving yourself well. I did it through hikes and vitamins and therapy and prayer and good friends.

Many people think I try to be like Lady Gaga but what they don't know is that I'm a Britney Spears wanna be.

A lot of the time people don't even know what they want until they see something new.
