I try not to focus on fame; I don't even really know what it means exactly because it's so fleeting.

I'm pretty, but I'm not, like, a 'pretty girl.'

When I realized I could actually make my decisions, it was a very strange feeling. It's like a switch went off in my brain, like, "Oh, then why am I doing this? I don't enjoy this, so I'm just gonna stop doing this."

People think pop is rock, and the lines are getting blurred. Now Rihanna's wearing f-ckin' leather jackets, and it's really annoying . . . (My style is) high-class hooker. I dress for myself. Clearly, it's provocative, but it makes me feel good. And if the only reason it makes someone uncomfortable is because I'm 17, then that person's a scumbag because it shouldn't matter.

Good and evil exists everywhere.

I can work 24 hours a day and not have it bother me.

You can't be a band and not play, and playing is so invigorating. It breathes life into you. So does creating something out of nothing.
