I was inspired a little while before The Voice to dye my hair half black half blonde by Cruella De Vil of 101 Dalmatians. One day I was watching it and I told my mom I was going to dye my hair like Cruella's, and she thought I was joking. I came home from the salon, and she didn't talk to me for a few days!

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

A lot of people say if you can't love yourself, then you can't love others. It's always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

Probably "Mrs. Potato Head" or "Training Wheels". "Mrs. Potato Head" because it was the hardest song to write and it took me a while to finish it and feel good about the lyrical content. But I've had that idea in my head for so long, especially the visuals - pulling apart a Mrs. Potato face and how that doubled as a meaning for plastic surgery. "Training Wheels" because it's the only love song on the album.

I love directing my music videos and writing video treatments, and I think it's all just because I love the visual aspect of it as well.

I'm glad I got to introduce myself to America by doing a Britney [Spears] song, haha!

I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.
