My new album that I'm creating, which is finished pretty much, was written with this new instinctual energy that I've developed getting to know my fans. They protect me, so now it's my destiny to protect them.

I would stare into the bright lights and imagine I could do anything. Be anything. And I would tell myself it would be me up there one day.

Music changed my life. I don't know who I would be without it. Don't ignore even the smallest glimmer of passion in your soul, run towards it with everything you have. It could change your life.

I don't think that women need to smell interesting.

A girl’s got to use what she’s given and I’m not going to make a guy drool the way a Britney video does. So I take it to extremes. I don’t say I dress sexily on stage - what I do is so extreme. It’s meant to make guys think: ‘I don’t know if this is sexy or just weird.

Ignore all hatred and criticism. Live for what you create, and die protecting it.

Some artists are working to buy the mansion or whatever the element of fame must bear, but I spend all my money on my show.
