I don't know that my schooling was conducive to wild ideas and creativity, but it gave me discipline, drive. They taught me how to think. I really know how to think.

I'd wear any of my private attire for the world to see. But I would rather have an open flesh wound than ever wear a band aid in public.

I want my fans to love themselves. It's almost like I want to hypnotize them so when they hear my music they love themselves instantly.

Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses because we were born this way.

If you are not honorable enough to fight without prejudice, go home.

I don't feel like I look like the other perfect little pop singers. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy.

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