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 like to go to the movies at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery. They do this thing in The Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood where everybody sits out on the grass and they project movies and it’s very romantic and very old-school Hollywood, so I love that.

I love really kitschy bad movies. Showgirls is one of my favorites. I saw House of Versace and died. I’m a big fan of made-for-TV movies because those are instant classics, naturally.

Obviously I love writing with Katy [Pery], I feel like we’re the same person when we write together. Even though we fight a lot, we fight over every line and we pull each other’s hair and we cat-fight all the time, it’s always worth it in the end.
