If you can believe in something great, then you can achieve something great.

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.

I sacrifice in my love life and my social life, but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

People don't want just vanilla. They want 31 flavors. I couldn't do what Rihanna does. I couldn't do what Gaga does. They can't do what I do.

They think that I was like Amy Grant, when actually no! The label went bankrupt and maybe sold a couple hundred records and that's about it. I was just trying different things.

I'm kinda saving myself for Miley Cyrus.

Using blasphemy as entertainment is as cheap as a comedian telling a fart joke.
