My audience has really become a very diverse group of people. It's not just 15-year-old girls. That's kind of what allows me to write from all the different places I want to write from.

But when I hear a great song, I can't help but be inspired by it, regardless of whatever genre that song falls under.

It is possible for a woman to be a romantic, but also to be single and to be happy.

In high school, I used to think it was "like sooooo cool" if a guy had an awesome car. Now none of that matters. These days I look for character and honesty and trust.

I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I've read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you're like, 'How do you have? Name one thing wrong with yourself,' and they could name a handful.

A lot of the jewelry that I wear are fan gifts because they're so awesome and they give me great presents.
