In school if you're different that's uncool. But I try to maintain confidence in who I am...because...you know...I don't really want to change it.

There are times when you get frustrated, but the one thing you always focus on is treating people well. You just cannot storm off and freak out.

I definitely know that there's somebody looking out for me, because I could never do this alone.

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.

I have so many playlists full of Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown.

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.

I'd like to think you don't stop being creative once you get happy.
