I still want to be as approachable and relatable as possible - when I meet fans and they're crying, I'll say, 'Calm down, there's nothing to cry about.'

I'm not defined by where I came from.

Acceptance is the key to be truly free.

I think some people will die on the stage, and I'm not so sure I want to do that. Like, I want to have kids! I'm totally fine with saying that. I think some people are scared because they're worried it's going to ruin their career, but I want to live a full life.

I'm definitely not trying to be, or am, a poster child for anything so structured. But I do have my own personal faith most definitely.

I had two cars repossessed, tons of debt. I had a horrible job that was damaging to my soul. After being on three different labels and knowing everyone and hearing yeses and nos and "You're it!" or "You're s - t!" I was depressed. But I never took no for an answer and really believed in myself.

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.
