“I guess I kind of realized that my whole life isn’t one giant press junket. I don’t have to be smiling all the time and always have the perfect answer.”

We run things, things don’t run we.

If you look at me as a role model, I agree with it. If you look at me as an idol, I don’t because an idol for me is someone that you want to replicate. You want to be them and I don’t wish that on anyone to lose what they have personally, because that’s when your spark is lost.

My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.

I think water’s, like, a really important thing.

It’s so much easier to know who you are when there aren’t a thousand people telling you who they think you are.

I take a hiatus every now and again, but I’m not good at that.

I guess my style’s a little edgy but comfortable. I like being comfortable, for sure, and kind of casual.

It was so incredible meeting Lady Gaga. I mean I’m gaga for Gaga, literally. We kind of just each flew to each other like magnets after the ceremony ended and we were both just crying and hugging.

You just feel a little odd when you don’t get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.

It dawned on me with blinding brightness. I realized: I had jumped into another rare kind of stratosphere – one that only a handful of people in every generation are lucky enough to know.

It’s kind of hard to rally around a math class.

It’s like a kind of Barbie American dream. I have that childlike quality so a lot of little girls especially [like me]. I’ve always been a kid at heart. I think I always will be.
