We're all going through our problems, but we all have the same insecurities and we all have the same abilities and we all need each other.
Thank God for my computer. Sometimes when there is no one to talk to, I talk aloud so that I can get all my thoughts out and try to figure out the issues that I'm having and try, I'm trying to find the answers.
I think people have an idea in their heads about entertainers[and] celebrities. I think they feel like their lives are so perfect, and it's really hard to go through painful experiences when you are in the public eye because it's hard to have closure.
My message behind this album was finding the beauty in imperfection.
I am a woman and when I think, I must speak.
Perfection is a disease of a nation.
I don't really have any different cravings from the ones that I had before. I've always liked food that is not good for you, and I still do. But I think I've been really good with eating healthy. I think probably the biggest thing is french fries, but that's nothing new. Right now, I'm trying to force myself to drink water with lemon. Bo-ring.

I'm a human being and I fall in love and sometimes I don't have control of every situation.
There's my personal life, my sensitive side, and then me as a performer, sexy and energised and fun.
