I have to be a ginger for 3 weeks.

I'm not ashamed, or embarrassed. I'm happy that I grew up listening to gospel music and came from where I came from. I feel like I have a history and a story. That's what I am and that's what I'll always be from. I was never running away from it.

I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.

I've always been ambitious since I was nine years old and that was never going to change.

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.

For me especially, I always have a very cheery disposition and that's how I've always come off. So I forget that doesn't really allow me to have a bad mood.

What I wanted to be and who I am is a singer and a songwriter. I wanted to be onstage, and I wanted the world to hear my music. The product of that is fame and the disgusting celebrity that goes along with it. But celebrity does not equal creativity.
