I try to get in quiet time and book time, but really, the only time I ever get that is when I'm on an airplane - I have a fear of flying, but I actually love flying because it's the only time I can sleep, and it's the only time I get to read.
Everything I write is based on something I've personally experienced, or things that my friends have experienced that I just find horribly entertaining.
Rap in general has never been my steez, but I like it.
I understand I'm supposed to be feminine and dainty, but I'm not. There are two sides to the coin. People are more impressed with things that I do because they almost treat you as if you're handicapped if you're a woman... people can be impressed that I can play a few chords on the guitar.
Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off and be real and genuine about it to my fans.
Working in this industry, I have been exposed to so many products and now realize more than ever how cruel and unnecessary animal testing is.
I know that I can sing. That's the reason I started playing music when I was twelve years old.
Maybe I need some rehab, Or maybe just need some sleep
Eventually, I would love to be on my deathbed and looked at as an icon. Right now I'm still at the baby stages of my career. But that is the goal.
I can't walk in high heels, never mind dance in them.
I do have a stylist who helps me shop, because I don't have time to shop.
Making my last record, Warrior, was a pretty miserable process, and it wore my spirit down. I was fighting like hell to keep my whole irreverent essence and everything raw and visceral that I stand for in it, but in the end I was promoting something that wasn't the animal I wanted it to be. I decided to face my problem head-on.
All men that date me have to know that their name may end up in a pop song.
I do my laundry on a weekly basis.
I am leading a war against the British Empire. I'm not worried about what Democratic Party hacks say or do.
I don't wear a lot of high heels.
I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.
I don’t even think of myself as a quote, unquote star - that’s really douchey. I think of myself as just like . . . a dance commander.
I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing.
Of course there are certain things that get to me, but I try and lead by example and show people that, especially with haters, that you should just ignore them.
What I'm bringing to the pop table is that I'm not pretentious. I'm fighting this war against all that because pop music, in my opinion, should be fun.
My mom and I are very honest with each other, almost to a fault. But that's just the way I am in life. If you listen to my record, I'm just honest about stupid stuff most normal people wouldn't put in a pop song.
