I live halfway between reality and theater at all times. And I was born this way.

I don't dress any particular way to impress anyone or market myself for my music. It's actually who I am.

Akon is a very talented songwriter to work with. His melodies, they're just insane. It's funny, I think about him a lot when I'm doing my melodies because he's so simple, and he's just been great. He keeps me on my feet, very grounded, but he also puts me on a silver platter, which is always very nice. So it's been an incredible influence. It's like every time you work with somebody that's better that you are, you become greater.

Look to yourself for the answer - stop calling your girlfriends and stop calling your mom - you know if it's working or not, you either feel like a goddess or you don't

There really is no difference between the bully and the victim.

I've had grand pianos that are more expensive than, like, a year's worth of rent.
