I can't imagine ever not making music, making albums, writing songs, doing shows. That's all I really know, and that's all I really do.

I don't try to pretend to be what I'm not. I don't feel I need to do anything outrageous.

I just always wanted to be a singer. My mom said I was even singing in my cot!

I always prefer to write songs about emotional situations and heartbreak because I like getting into the character.

I don't want to be one of those people who falls out of cabs drunk. But I don't want to be known as some boring girl who just sits at home and doesn't do anything.

The biggest turn-off for me is people who think the world of themselves. Arrogance is not a sexy quality, and it really gets on my nerves.

The paparazzi stuff is a little weird. I used to leave the house in my pajamas. I can't do that anymore, but I'm not complaining!
