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.

I do think I have a rebellious, metal-loving rock chick inside of me.

I hope to bring much more attention to important issues and change for issues and practices that are harming animals.

I do destroy men on a weekly basis. It's like a hobby. I'm like a praying mantis.

I don't want young people to think they can't make a difference because they don't have money.

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

I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.
