I don't take anything for granted. There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them.
I gave myself until I turned 25 to make it. And if it didn't happen, I thought I'd just try to find a nice husband.
I grew up in a life where the answer was always there, I guess. But now I'm out on my own and still looking for the answer. Nothing is solved for me.
I just feel like I have this gift that I've been given. It's like, 'Someone unwrap it! Here it is!' That drive can't be held down.
I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.
I never live in the present. I'd do interviews and people will say, 'Isn't this great?' or 'Can you believe?' And I would react, like, 'No, I can't believe it because I'm not living in this moment.'
I think that parents grow up with an idea of what they want their kids to be like - and then their kids grow up to be people of themselves, of their own.
I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life.
I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease.
