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

I don't know what to do when I'm not working. I lose my mind if I'm not constantly doing something.

My style's not for everyone - I'm an extremist.

Where I'm at now is awesome. A different road might have led me to a different place, and I wouldn't be happy doing anything but music.

I go through ups and downs just like everyone does.

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.

I really enjoy English and poetry and writing classes. You do get writer's block when you're writing music, and having inspiration from other great writers is great. You have to look for inspiration because sometimes music isn't the only thing that you can look at.
