I'm not concerned with people seeing me in a certain way. Some people see me as a kid, some people see me as an adult. But I'm seriously not going to complain how anybody sees me, as long as they see me.
Maybe you won't find a place where you fit in for a very long time, but you eventually will.
I have a terrifying long list of fears. Literally everything - diseases, spiders... and people getting tired of me.
I realized that I have very long arms so I can take the perfect arm-length picture with fans
I fought the idea of having security for a very long time, because I really value normalcy. I really do. I like to be able to take a drive by myself.
I have been singing randomly, obsessively, obnoxiously for as long as I can remember.
I am alone a lot, which is good. I need that time to just be alone after a long day, just decompress. So, I go to either my house or the hotel, or my apartment, or whatever - wherever I am, I go home and I watch TV and I sit there, with my cat, and I just watch TV or go online, check my emails.
When you walk out onstage in front of 65,000 people, it can bring you to tears.
I didn't always have 14,000 people wanting to hang out with me on a Saturday night.
For me, 'risky' is revealing what really happened in my life through music. Risky is writing confessional songs and telling the true story about a person with enough details so everyone knows who that person is.
I definitely have body issues, but everybody does. When you come to the realization that everybody does that - even the people that I consider flawless - then you can start to live with the way you are. I've read interviews with some of the most beautiful women who have insecurities. And you look at them and you're like, 'How do you have? Name one thing wrong with yourself,' and they could name a handful.
I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now.
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism. So I distance myself, because I feel everything.
Since I was old enough to understand what a songwriter/producer is, I've had a curiosity about how Max Martin creates what he creates. I wanted to see that happen. I wanted to be there. I wanted to learn from him.
