I'm not coming out trying to prove anything to anyone, like, 'Oh, I'm in assless chaps!' or 'I can't be tamed!' I've already been through that phase. I started at 23, you know?

I still want to make a pop record. I want to make a more sonically current pop record. I maybe want to make people move a little bit more.

After a hurricane, comes a rainbow.

I missed out on the Spice Girls. I missed out on all those big pop phenomenon and missed out even on the Madonna records. It's okay, cuz I'm playing catch-up on everything now.

Last Friday night; Yeah we danced on tabletops. And we took too many shots. Think we kissed, but I forgot?

I feel really blessed because of where I come from.

I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.
