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.

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.

In my head, I wanted to be Madonna, but the music I was writing on paper was not what you’d choreograph dancers in costumes to. It was more coffee-house stuff.

I had an epiphany where I realised that there are song titles everywhere – in advertising, in conversations with people at the grocery store – and every time I open my mind to that and find titles, I then weave a story around that.

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.
