I used to be a good story writer. I could make up a story with like, eight people in it and tell you where they all lived, what color their houses are.
You cannot act a color. Do not tell me I’m acting black, because I’m not. I’m acting whatever you want to call it – urban. I don’t even have a name for it. I just call it ‘me.’
I was bad, but I was one of the kids that never got caught. If anyone ever knew I did something, it was because I told them. ‘Cause I’m a really good liar, so I end up snitching on myself.
Someone who’s fake is someone who acts one way around their family and their close friends, but once they get out in the public, they’re this whole different person.
I’m always gonna do my own thing. I wanna be something – whether I’m 19 years old working at a pet store, or I’m 19 years old with a No. 1 record – I wanna be the biggest I can be to my crowd, no matter what my crowd is.
I’m just me, all the time. People think, ‘She must be an innocent little white girl when she’s not performing or making videos.’ But no, I’m me all year round, 24/7.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for everything, but I don’t wanna make it seem like I wouldn’t be able to survive without fame. ‘Cause I did it for 13 years.
