I wasn't allowed to listen to a lot of music growing up. It wasn't until I started to make my gospel record when I was around 14 or 15 that I started to be exposed to more outside influences.

I love hearing my song on the radio the first time, but when it comes on again, I change the station. I already have so much of the spotlight on me. I don't need any more.

My fans are the best. I mean if there was a war, I think they'd definitely win just because they'd kill them with kindness.

I'm a woman who likes to be courted, strongly. Never say never, I guess you'd say. I'll let love take the lead on that.

I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.

I'm okay with having horrible lower teeth.

I am never usually taking myself too seriously and I think that people when they read stuff from me, they have to realise that I'm having fun.
