I had two cars repossessed, tons of debt. I had a horrible job that was damaging to my soul. After being on three different labels and knowing everyone and hearing yeses and nos and "You're it!" or "You're s - t!" I was depressed. But I never took no for an answer and really believed in myself.
It can be the most difficult thing to do, but love conquers fear and love conquers hate and this love that you choose will give you strength and it's our greatest power.
I am a pop girl! And I'm on a major label. I enjoy singing pop songs.
I am never usually taking myself too seriously and I think that people when they read stuff from me, they have to realise that I'm having fun.
I think that everybody that's coming out to Warped Tour, when they come to see the show, they're always like; let's go see that band that band that band and... that girl. I think that I tend to be that girl sometimes and I think that it's cool that I get to hang out with this Summer camp of smelly boys.
I didn't come here to run for President. I really just came here to play rock and roll.
I think the world likes to pick apart different songs and play doctor with songs sometimes and make them into this big controversial thing.
I'm just singing about my own life. Singing about all the little stories in my life and the things I've been through.
I always tell my fans that are closest to me, if it's not coming from my mouth, my website, or my appointed person, then it's generally not true. Or it's an exaggeration.
Everybody wants to have a commentary on my life, like they are actually living it. Cool, comment all you want but I'm the one that's living it.
I was really sick and I walked outside of the bus and realised; oh no I'm not allowed to be sick. I'm not allowed to say; sorry no I can't pose with you for a photo because I'm sick. I am a super human now, or I have to be one.
The media, is media. You always have to take the media with a grain of salt. You can't believe everything you read.
I'm scared. I'm excited. I'm ready for whatever happens but I think that fame is what comes along with the territory when you open yourself up and become this story, this book for anyone to read.
For me especially, I always have a very cheery disposition and that's how I've always come off. So I forget that doesn't really allow me to have a bad mood.
We're technology obsessed. I think it's easier to text than to actually say hi to someone.
I think that maybe people comment on the internet because they never know if they're going to be able to meet that one person and they want to have a say so, or what have-you.
When I kissed a girl, nobody was around. So I didn't do it for anybody. I'm not a lesbian. I encourage anybody to try anything, just make sure you have integrity and character. It doesn't matter who anyone loves. I am for gay rights and I also have a boyfriend.
I consider myself a believer in something much bigger than myself, thank God.
I'm definitely not trying to be, or am, a poster child for anything so structured. But I do have my own personal faith most definitely.
I did my gospel record, but there was nothing really of it. Maybe a hundred people bought it. But it's one of those things on the internet that people find and they make into a big deal.
They think that I was like Amy Grant, when actually no! The label went bankrupt and maybe sold a couple hundred records and that's about it. I was just trying different things.
I just changed as a person and have always been changing constantly from fifteen to twenty-three.
The internet is such a strange place. You can put up one thing on there like, Katy Perry was a taekwondo master of the black belt! When really all I did was one kickboxing class. That's how I think my short time in doing my gospel record was like.
I'm not ashamed, or embarrassed. I'm happy that I grew up listening to gospel music and came from where I came from. I feel like I have a history and a story. That's what I am and that's what I'll always be from. I was never running away from it.
I feel like I have a little bit of a fresh ear when creating music. I'm not trying to be like anything else, cuz I have no idea what anything else is like!
