1.I know sometimes if I don't think about what I do 또는 think about the things I say, then I'll just ruin it for everybody and keep giving that stereotype of teens-that they're irresponsible and not doing anything with their lives.
2.I wasn't allowed to listen to secular 음악 when I was a kid, but there was a time when I was hanging out at my friend's house. We're trying on all our outfits, like girls do, and out of nowhere I heard the lyrics to 'Killer Queen.' Time stood still. The 음악 was totally different from anything I'd heard. I still 사랑 Freddie Mercury. He was flamboyant with a twist of the operatic, but 더 많이 importantly, he just didn't give a f---.
3. If people want a role model, they can have Miley Cyrus!
4.(about her parents' strict rules from when she was a teenager) That's my parents. They're crazy! They're nuts!
5.(about her father encouraging her to sing) My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.
6.I've done a lot of bad things. Use your imagination.
7.I got this 예수님 tattoo on my wrist when I was 18 because I know that it's always going to be a part of me. When I'm playing, it's staring right back at me, saying, 'Remember where 당신 came from.'
8.(Revealing she once had a drinking problem while waiting for her career to take off) It was really difficult, drinking became a problem. It got out of control until I said, 'OK - back to work.' I know I'm speaking for someone, even if it is someone silly.
9. (following her single 'I Kissed a Girl') Girls now keep asking for a kiss. After every show on my tour I stay behind to do an autograph signing. But about a dozen women will want a snog. I just sweetly say, 'No, thank you'. If I kissed everybody who asked I'd probably go away with something I don't really want.
10.(When she found a 퀸 record) The heavens opened and saved me. From then on, they have been my biggest influence.
11.:(On what separates her from other female artists) I want to push the envelope and I want to do something different and exciting and make people, keep them on their toes at all times.
12.I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that's all you've got, it's just boring. Everything I write, whether it's happy 또는 sad, has a sense of humor to it.
