“I always want to create and do things, or draw.”

I’m super self-critical, which I think is good, because then I get exactly what I want. I’m critical of other people, too – I try not to be, though.

In real life, I’m a really smiley person. I smile when I talk and I laugh.

I think it’s really cool when artists have song titles or album names that are a really conversational sentence.

I love people talking about me; I love anybody just looking at me.

I think everybody deserves an equal amount of appreciation whether how old they are, but I mean, I’m cool with the praise. I’m good.

Pretty much my whole life, I’ve been a performer and have loved singing and writing songs in my room for my own ears.

I used to write random little stupid things when I was five, but then the first song I really wrote was one called Fingers Crossed.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time. I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

I really love Linkin Park, and I loved Chester Bennington, and it is horrible what happened to him.

I don’t really get nervous that much, or if I do, only I know. It’s all inside me. I am good at hiding everything.

If it’s good music, it’s good music.

Words are more powerful than some noises. Noises won’t last long. Lyrics are so important, and people don’t realise that.

Sexism is everywhere, bro. I don’t know if it’s ever not somewhere.

I’m a really artistic person, and so, with the live stuff, there’s a lot that I think is really cool.

Heart made of glass and my mind of stone.

All the good girls go to hell.

The things that are important to me – being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist – are all things that were borne out of great passion.

An entrepreneur isn’t someone who owns a business, it’s someone who makes things happen.

Never react emotionally to criticism. Analyze yourself to determine whether it is justified. If it is, correct yourself. Otherwise, go on about your business.

I think it’s really important to have a life outside of this [movie] business and just be the best person you can be.

The business of business is relationships; the business of life is human connection.

The people and opportunities your business needs are out there, but the only way to uncover them is to take an active role in bringing your social network to life.

When you raise taxes on small business, from 35% to 40%, you will kill jobs.

I don’t feel one’s personal medical condition is everybody’s business. It just isn’t something you advertise, and it’s not open to discussion.
