“It’s nice to really have the freedom to write what I want.”

In real life I’m pretty easy going and pretty chill, I’m not the party girl who will go wild and crazy necessarily.

If you can take it to the next level and really tell an interesting story in a unique and fresh way, then I feel like that’s a great song.

I think I’ve learnt a lot about bullying and how to deal with bullying and how to get over that and to just be yourself and forget the haters.

I think one day I’d like to win an Oscar.

I am a little crazy but when I’m on-stage, then I really get to play it up and perform and be over the top and it’s like an outlet. It’s fun to ‘wild’ out.

Ke$ha is super talented and super fun and always down to party – I love that girl.

It would have been nice if both players had maybe shaken hands with each other

I’m very honored and thankful if someone says something nice about my playing, but in general I’m very critical of what I do.

I enjoy meeting not only contemporary children, but yesterday’s children as well. It’s nice to talk about the experiences we shared, they tell me, ‘You were a good friend.’ That’s the warmest part.

I think, a lot of people, it’s the goal to be in movies or just to be working in general. But yeah, some of us get lucky and get some movie roles, and it’s nice.

Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman’s ability to make everyone…feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.

I’ve always been serious that way, trying to evolve to a more conscious state. Funny thing about that,though. You tweak yourself,looking for more love, less lust, more compassion, less jealousy.

Chicago is seriously my favorite city in the country. People have roots here, which is nice. When you go to Los Angeles, no one is actually from Los Angeles.

I love it when someone insults me. That means that I don’t have to be nice anymore.
