Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.

I love being in the studio and singing on stage and performing. It's so much fun. I love every second of it - and I love the way you get to show who you are. I love the way fans are really passionate around the world, so I adore performing and hearing people sing along in different countries.

I get to go to all these beautiful places, so it's nice being able to take pictures of it.

Working for with someone who has no idea what they wanted... it would just be so all over the place, especially with something on this scale. You have to know what you want with this.

I love doing theater. That's where my home is.

I had a gypsy upbringing, so I moved around all over the place and can't remember a street I grew up on.

I love and really respect strong women. I'm obsessed with Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz. They are just really incredibly strong-willed, intelligent females in the industry.
