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'm drawn to bad romances.

Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner, you want to be like yourself. I want my fans to know it's okay.

Being a woman in the pop world, sexuality is half poison and half liberation. What's the line? I don't have a line. I am the most sexually free woman on the planet, and I genuinely am empowered from a very honest place by my sexuality. What's more primal than sex? I mean, it's so honest. If I didn't think I had the talent to back that up, I wouldn't have done it.

People that are obsessed with hating you, feel flattered. Their whole lives revolve around you.
