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.

I like to go out there looking like a strong woman, because I am strong. But I am also a woman who goes through all kinds of problems and highs and lows.

I have always been the kid who's asked 'Why?' In my faith, you're just supposed to have faith. But I was always like... why?

I was not even allowed to mention the name Madonna in my household - just because I think the '80s and '90s were so Madonna-filled. She was going through so many evolutions at that time.

If you like my music, great, and if you don't, whatever. I'm going to keep making it either way.

I get a lot of the ideas when I'm resting - either when I'm meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That's where I get my best ideas, maybe because I'm balancing my body.
