Adolescence is that time when I think, it can be- it's the cruelest place on Earth. It can really be heartless.

You have to be clear what your message is and what you're doing. I mean, Miley Cyrus is an amazing talent, and sometimes you kind of just want to say, 'We know you're not Hannah Montana anymore. We know that, my dear. My darling. Now, go be great.'

I know that mess spelled backwards is ssem and I felt much better armed with that information.

Women must understand that simply attacking or hating men is just another form of disempowerment. A woman has to realize that when she makes a man crawl it doesn't give her power.

I was fascinated to think about a place where men could be the mothers and I thought of my own song-writing and I decided to have a relationship with their daughters.

Some people hide more than others, and it does intrigue me.

It's fun to write your set list 20 minutes before and keep the crew very much on their toes.
