I'm waking up to say I tried, instead of waking up to another TV guide.
Why do you have to go and make Things so complicated...
I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.
On my first album I was wearing a lot of guys pants, baggy clothes and stuff like that. I was 17 and I was a little tomboy. And you would never see me wearing a dress or heels on my first record.
I started singing in church and I was probably around seven and I started singing anywhere that I could. I used to sing at my school. I was in musicals and then it kind of got to a point where I started to - wanted to do my own songs.
I decorated my house like a medieval gothic castle, European-style. Chandeliers and red velvet curtains. My bedroom is pink and black, my bathroom is totally Hello Kitty, I have a massive pink couch and a big antique gold cross.
I'm very comfortable with how I look. I always have been. I think I look pretty good. There's nothing I want to change. I'm pretty happy with what I've got.
I have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.
My songs aren't bubble gum pop dance songs and I don't have background dancers on every single song.
When I tour, I stuff fridges full of organic food and stick to that.
I don't want to have kids for like 10 years. I still have a lot to do. I don't even know if I could handle a dog right now. I'm so not ready. Someday I'll be a mom but not until I'm in my 30s.
School teaches you what to do with the rest of your life. I already knew.
Keep holding on, cause you know we'll make it through. We'll make it through. Just stay strong, cause you know I'm here for you. I'm here for you. There's nothing you could say. Nothing you could do. There's no other way when it comes to the truth, but keep holding on, cause you know we'll make it through.
Whatever people say I am, I'm not.
