Dancing allows me to go away and not have to think of what I'm doing next.

I believe in love — yes, I'm one of those girls. Most of my friends believe in love. I went out with Katy Perry last night. She's so fun and awesome, but it's cool to see someone older believe in love too. She is all about it, and that's how I will always be. I believe in stories like, 'Oh, I met him in Starbucks.'

I love Katy Perry! She gave me a song for my second album.

Childhood decisions do not have to define you.

I've learned that I want what I deny. I want someone who is crazy about me, who treats me like a princess. I want the picture-perfect fairy tale stuff.

Artistically, you want to be able to do a lot of things that can challenge you to not just stay in the same thing.

I'm human, so of course certain things sometimes hurt. I just laugh at it.
