I don't want to know what people are doing. Like, I don't need to know who's got a new music video and who's got a new lipstick.

As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don't think of it as work. It's just so much fun.

Imperfectios equal beauty. We are all imperfect.

If you don't like my songs, don't hear it. If you don't like my music videos, don't watch it. If you hate me, I don't care.

I think the reason that a lot of people have to have a lot of people around is just about being smart and knowing what you want to talk about. I want people to know who I am. Respect is a huge thing - especially in my family. ... If you don't respect people, people aren't going to respect you back. It's just about yourself, you respecting others, and hopefully everyone else will follow that and respect you, as well.

Some people don't have a family to fall back on, like I have, and that's when something greater than even that comes in, and that's faith and that's what I have for me, that's what keeps me strong.

It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time, because if you make mistakes, then the whole world knows about it. Like, it's not just your family and friends, it's everyone. Sometimes I'll watch myself on TV and ask myself, What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, "OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd."
