I wish that I was looking into your eyes

Throw your stick and stones, throw your bombs and your blows, but you're not gonna break my soul.

I wanted to be that quirky girl who writes funny songs that still have meaning.

I've always been ambitious since I was nine years old and that was never going to change.

The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context, but there's not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes, which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didn't necessarily sign up for this.

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

I did my gospel record, but there was nothing really of it. Maybe a hundred people bought it. But it's one of those things on the internet that people find and they make into a big deal.
