The biggest risk I’ve ever taken is going on American Idol and trying to be myself. I wasn’t going to try too hard to conform, and I knew that it could possibly not work out.
I have crushes on women all the time. I don’t have intimate relationships with them, but I find women beautiful.
Los Angeles can be a really sad city.
I’m so happy to be in a committed relationship.
Pop is a little bit theatrical. That’s the whole vibe. That’s the point – is that it’s great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it’s a presentation. There’s a showmanship about it. And that’s why I wanted to be a pop star.
After my tour I had time to stay at home, be with my boyfriend and hang out with friends and that brought me down to earth and helped me write music from a more relaxed place.
It’s been a transformative period and I really wanted to make music from what I’ve experienced.
I’ve sung other people’s music all my life.
I’m very inspired by past music.
I think Lady Gaga is great and is changing pop music and bringing back a certain rock ‘n’ roll spirit, swagger to the game.
