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

I grew up listening to gospel. That was the only thing that I had reference to because that was what my family was involved with.

I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do.

I'm not defined by where I came from. I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe, then I'm happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.

I don't care what people say about my relationship; I don't care what they say about my boobs. People are buying my songs; I have a sold-out tour. I'm getting incredible feedback from my music.

I'm like a fatter version of Amy Winehouse and a skinnier version of Lily Allen.

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