Every girl on the planet has insecurities. It helps me to know that some of the most beautiful people in the world wake up some days and don't think they're pretty. As sad as that is, it's good to know that a problem you think is your own is actually something every girl faces. Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear.

Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for.

Once you think about it, aren't the people who are living their lives without worrying about other people's opinions having more fun than those judging them?

When you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.

One of my goals from really early on was that if I was ever fortunate enough to be successful in music, I would want to stay the same person and the same songwriter.

In my mind, I see all of my passionate memories in bright, burning Red.

I don't know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way - all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup - all the time. When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.
