The media, is media. You always have to take the media with a grain of salt. You can't believe everything you read.

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

My parents are very quirky, eccentric. They have their own world.

I'm on this extraordinary adventure, and if I have no one to talk to at the end of the night, I feel lonely.

The records are black boxes for me. Like, if you want to know who I am, my views, my perspective, things I love, things I hate, my convictions, my anthems. I've never let people's opinions affect the way I write.

I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read.

NEW YORK! I [love] U! You're OFFICIALLY the coolest place on the planet!
