When I was 13, I asked for a guitar. And that's how I really started explaining my point of view.
I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.
When I was meeting people in L.A., guys always thought if they paid for dinner, they deserved a blow job. But generally, I'll say this - and I'll say it proudly - I can't sleep with someone if I don't have a connection with them.
I'm not defined by where I came from.
I've done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.
The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.
I am never usually taking myself too seriously and I think that people when they read stuff from me, they have to realise that I'm having fun.
I just want to make it very clear that I come from very humble beginnings, and I worked for everything!
I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read.
I think Rihanna always looks so fresh and I'm like, "How do you do that? We all know how much pot you smoke!"
I'm okay if everything is honest and truthful and relatable. If it's fabricated and ill-motived, it's not good.
I was never really attached to a clique, and I wanted to be in all the different groups; I was never a one-group kind of person. I think that's still part of my personality today.
Last Friday night; Yeah we danced on tabletops. And we took too many shots. Think we kissed, but I forgot?
I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.
I like a good boy, but sometimes you get bored.
I just wanna throw my phone away and find out who is really there for me
I can't rate myself, but if you ask Russell I'm sure he'd give me a ten out of ten.
Kids are so smart these days. They sense when there's a phony bologna out there. Especially in music, when they see something that's being marketed to them, they'll call it out. They'll be like, "This chick is bullshit."
The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.
In another life, I would be your girl. Capable of making promises. We would rule the world.
I think that a lot of teenagers think they got it all down-pat. Especially when they first move out and they're on their own for the first time. Oh this is easy, this is breezy. Then all of a sudden it hits you in your mid-twenties that maybe you don't know how to do your taxes still. There's all kinds of things and you start calling your parents up again.
No regrets, just love. We can dance until we die. You and I, we'll be young forever!
Im a good girl at heart who just wants to have fun.
My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.
I'm a romantic and I kinda believed in this fairy tale. And in some ways I think that's always been to my advantage, because like if you can believe in something great, I feel like you can achieve something great.
