It's dangerous to read the Internet about yourself when you're me. Or when you're anyone in the public eye.

I do not need some guy around in order to get inspiration, in order to make a great record, in order to live my life, in order to feel okay about myself. And I wanted to show my fans the same thing.

Some of the most beautiful people in the whole world wake up some days and they don't think that they're pretty.

The music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment. And I’m not willing to contribute my life’s work to an experiment that I don’t feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music. And I just don’t agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free.

I feel like my dating life has become a national pastime, and Im not comfortable providing that entertainment anymore.

I'm pretty pale. In high school I was insecure and thought it'd be cool to go to a tanning bed. Now I just let it look the way it looks.

Growing up is scary because it happens without you knowing it.
