My whole point is like, well, if I'm the pop star, then it should be whatever I am. There's, you know, room for Katy Perrys and Adeles and Rihannas and Lady Gagas and Ke$has and me and Pinks. I think what's great about all of us is that we represent something different.

I never said I was a 'good girl.' I'm not a bad girl.

I live on a ranch in Texas and do my own thing. And I don't care what anyone has to say about it. My joke is that the only people I'm trying to please are myself and my fans, because they're the ones buying my records. And I have the best, most loyal fan base ever.

Confidence is seen, not heard.

Music isn’t just heard, it is felt.

I feel like you can be the best role model by being yourself.

I've loved my 20s, but I would never repeat them.
