My background sets me apart. I've never been able to relate to many people. I've always been the outcast child.

I'm out here to represent the gingers, the gypsies, and the outcasts. Because I am all of the above, and I'm all about having a great time.

Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.

You should hear what my parents wanted to call me. It was between Brown Rice, Neon Hitch and Z. Ziggurat Zanzibar Zandorf. I'm not joking. Imagine fitting that on my passport!

I was always a bit of a showgirl; it was in my blood. I never thought I would have a career as a singer, though.

As for today's music, Nicki Minaj is killing it. She's an amazing artist.

My dad brought me Michael Jackson and Madonna and said, "This is ALL you need to know!"
