I love what I do, and when I don't love what I do, I'll make a change...I can't be the candy queen forever.

People love the idea of a good girl gone bad, thinking that my parents were so strict and disowned me, but that actually wasn't the case. Even though they don't necessarily agree with some of the things I do, they love me as their daughter. That's always been their perspective.

When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that's how I really started explaining my point of view.

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

I feel like my secret magic trick that separates me from a lot of my peers is the bravery to be vulnerable and truthful and honest.

I don't need the Prince Charming to have my own happy ending.

You look at someone like Beyoncé singing Single Ladies, when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.
