Im a good girl at heart who just wants to have fun.

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

You look at someone like Beyoncé singing Single Ladies, when we all know she's married. Some of it is just for entertainment.

It can be the most difficult thing to do, but love conquers fear and love conquers hate and this love that you choose will give you strength and it's our greatest power.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

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 say what I think. I'm a real person, not some manufactured pop tart who's afraid to step out of the hotel room. I am flawed. I swear, I have the occasional cocktail, I pick my nose and I fart. I'm not running for any presidential campaign at the moment. I'm a sassy girl.
