If you want to be a legitimate artist, it's more important what you say no to.

Writing for somebody else is really fun 'cause I consider myself a songwriter first and foremost.

You never know what an artist is going to create next.

I think people should give in to what they feel like doing at the time and be a raw animal.

So many people say, 'So, what, are you a party girl?' And I say, 'I'm a walking good time.' Do I sometimes go out and drink? Hell, yes. But could I have a number one song if I wasn't also working hard? Maybe that needs a little more respect.

My makeup is usually left over from the night before.

I can't walk in high heels, never mind dance in them.
