I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

I feel that homophobia runs rampant in the music industry, and that artists are allowed to speak openly in a hateful way, in a homophobic way, in a misogynistic way, and the press does not challenge them. And I'm going to be taking a very strong stance against that, and I am an artist who refuses to accept that behavior.

Bare your struggles very close to your heart and have them be a part of you that you’re proud of instead of something that you’re ashamed of.

I don't like celebrities; I don't hang out with them; I don't relate to that life.

I already am a product.

The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.

I don't think I could live without hair, makeup and styling, let alone be the performer I am. I am a glamour girl through and through. I believe in the glamorous life and I live one.
