I don't try to sound like anyone but me anymore. If something is out of my element, I try to avoid it.

I always try to do something different. I don't think I've made the same record over and over.

During my first photo shoot, I was unhappy because they put so much makeup on me and straightened my hair. I've been stubborn ever since.

Everyone in my high school was a bit nerdy. We didn't even have a football team.

I'm not going to play lead guitar in a concert hall full of people, because I'm going to mess up a lot.

You know, when you have a father who's pretty well known but you don't see him, the last thing you want to do is start talking about him all the time to people.

The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.
