I'm just glad we live in a world where girls can play soldiers.

My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet…is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.

You and I both know there's got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl gets heart broken, was sad forever'. I think a nice one would be 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends, and the ability to look back and laugh at all she'd learned. She now lives her life on her own terms and still has fantastic hair.'

In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is.

But I say to Apple with all due respect, we don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.

I'm intimidated by the fear of being average.

I have never used Auto-Tune in a live television performance, and I have never used Auto-Tune in any of my concerts. That is a promise.
