I would love to collab with The Weeknd, for sure.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.

Kids forever, kids forever. Baby soft skin turns into leather. Don’t be dramatic it’s only some plastic. No one will love you if you’re unattractive.

If you say something that is a little unsafe to say but you feel strongly and passionate about it, a lot of people can attack you and call you a bad role model just because they don’t agree with your views, but in reality we’re all different and we’re all unique in our own way and we all have different thoughts.

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

I definitely fall in love quickly, and I’m very in love with being in love. But it is hard for me to write about love.

Remember that I am a human.

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to. I’ll cry until the candles burn down this place. I’ll cry until my pity party’s in flames.

I’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

I definitely love horror movies and all that for sure.

I have a song called ‘Training Wheels’ and it’s about being in love with someone and taking it to the next level by taking off the training wheels.

I know my ABC’s yet you keep teaching me. I say, f*ck your degree, alphabet boy! You think you’re smarter than me with all your bad poetry? F*ck all your ABC’s, alphabet boy!

Eventually, I started writing down a bunch of titles that related to childhood themes and would pair it with an adult situation that either I was going through or someone else in my life was going through.

We cut flowers because we think they’re pretty, we cut ourselves because we think we’re not.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

I’m really stubborn, and I’m ok with that.

They call me cry baby, but I don’t f*cking care! Cry baby, cry baby. So I laugh through my tears. Cry baby, cry baby. ‘Cause I don’t f*cking care! Tears fall to the ground; I just let them drown.

I’ve had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that ‘Dollhouse’ really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.

Everyone is allowed to be vulnerable. I think women and men and dogs and cats and ants and aliens can all express themselves and be vulnerable.

You speak sour lemonade to me. The bitter taste won’t let me be. One kiss was supposed to be so sweet. But I found grapefruit in your teeth. Old gum, is all you’ll ever be to me. I spit you out and brush my teeth.

I’ve had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.

I’m a perfectionist, and even if something comes out great, it’s still not perfect, you know?

I just think that pop music is very interesting in how it can reach so many people. I like that I can tell stories and I just wanted to be heard more, I guess. That’s why it’s pop, but in my mind I don’t really view my music as pop, I don’t really view it as anything. I just look at it as a picture, I like visuals.

I have definitely noticed I am very passionate. So if I’m fighting with someone I’ll be SO super loud and aggressive, and make sure that my point is heard.

I need to kill you. That’s the only way to get you out of my head. Oh, I need to kill you to silence all the sweet little things you said. I really want to kill you, wipe you off the face of my earth and bury your bracelet six feet under the dirt.

My music is like a baby pink frosted cake with sprinkles, but when you cut into it, there’s a gooey, dark chocolate center.

Doing music is time consuming, will drain you, and stress you out at times. But in the end if you love doing it, and you’re putting out music you’re proud of, it will never feel like work. It’ll just feel like love.

I’m not used to writing about happy emotions, I’m just used to pulling from my sad or angry.. Happy emotions are very hard for me to portray in music.

I think that every decision I make in my life is based on an emotion and it definitely hurts me in some situations, and helps in some situations, like obviously writing and stuff is my favorite thing to do because I get to use all of my emotions and express them in that way.

Why did you steal my cotton candy heart? You threw it in this d*mn coin slot, and now I’m stuck riding.

I stay away from the title of ‘role model.’ I want to be a more realistic role model, not a perfect Barbie role model.

Everyone got to choose what they wanted to wear on stage, and by the third time going into wardrobe the stylists already knew what I’d love and what I would never throw on my body in a million years. They were fantastic, and it was so lovely working with them.

Start living now. Stop saving the good china for that special occasion. Stop withholding your love until that special person materializes.

I think, being emotional is this thing that people think you’re not strong. They don’t look at you as a strong person, and it’s weird ‘cuz honestly being emotional has nothing to do with your strength.

I love Sia and how she hides her face. If I could pull off doing that, I totally would.

And it’s all fun and games ’til somebody falls in love, but you’ve already bought a ticket and there’s no turning back now.

There are obviously so many artists that are very inspiring, but I can’t say that they like that I have someone in mind that is like a creative direction of where I want to go as an artist. I think I’m just doing my own thing.

A lot of people say if you can’t love yourself, then you can’t love others. It’s always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

Part of the problem with America is that letting go of emotions is viewed as a weakness, but it’s my strength. That enabled me to write my songs.

Round and round like a horse on a carousel, we go. Will I catch up to love? I could never tell. I know chasing after you is like a fairy tale, but I feel like I’m glued on tight to this carousel.

I’m very, very in touch with my emotions.

I think that any female who gets asked if she’s a feminist… it’s silly… it’s so interesting when people ask females if they’re a feminist. Of course every female wants to be equal!

Basically it’s the idea of celebrities being in the spotlight and just because you think that they should be perfect, that they’re still human and they still have flaws just like everyone else. So that was the real meaning behind ‘Dollhouse’, at least how it related to me because it’s something I was annoyed with at the time.

Cry Baby is just a character in this world that I’m trying to create, and the music videos are really important to me, and I’ve fought to obviously get all of them approved.

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

Everyone thinks that we’re perfect. Please don’t let them look through the curtains.

I believe everyone should be equal, and we should all love and support each other and express ourselves the way we want to express ourselves and be whoever we want. That’s my motto.

On the show, The Voice, I obviously wasn’t allowed singing my own original music, because it’s not that type of show. I think it’s really cool that I get to do my own thing now.

I’ll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.

I’m nuts, baby, I’m mad. The craziest friend that you’ve ever had. You think I’m psycho, you think I’m gone. Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong. Over the bend, entirely bonkers. You like me best when I’m off my rocker. Tell you a secret, I’m not alarmed. So what if I’m crazy? The best people are crazy!
