“I’ve had so many insecurities, and am still getting over a lot.”

I definitely have worked trying to create music that inspires girls to feel confident and strong, and feel like they can do anything.

A lot of people say if you can’t love yourself, then you can’t love others. It’s always different, but I definitely have loved a lot in my life.

Mark Ryden is my favorite visual artist.

I have definitely noticed I am very passionate. So if I’m fighting with someone I’ll be SO super loud and aggressive, and make sure that my point is heard.

The title is the first thing that I have. Then when I have that title, I have to make sure that the title is like, so I have to make sure I can tell a whole story from that one title and like make sure that it, from beginning to end it makes sense.

I listen to a lot of music. But I definitely haven’t looked at an artist and like thought I want to have a song like this.

Cry Baby is just a character in this world that I’m trying to create, and the music videos are really important to me, and I’ve fought to obviously get all of them approved.

I was always hard on myself for taking things too personally.

Everyone got to choose what they wanted to wear on stage, and by the third time going into wardrobe the stylists already knew what I’d love and what I would never throw on my body in a million years. They were fantastic, and it was so lovely working with them.

It’s just interesting how people relate my success when I would like to think that I worked my ass off for a reason and that it’s about the music and not because I was on a TV show.

I’ve had a lot of people come up to me after shows and tell me that “Dollhouse” really helped them with whatever they were going through with their families. I thought that was really amazing, that it could mean one thing for me but another thing for someone else.

I have a few songs that I’m figuring out and writing. I’m still figuring out the whole concept and how it’s gonna connect to Cry Baby, but I have some ideas, yes.

Cry Baby wasn’t necessarily a baby theme but I understand what they’re saying. So like, Cry Baby is definitely a remaining character throughout all of my albums.

I never had a lot of friends growing up so having this insane amount of love and support really means a lot to me.

Loving yourself + others is a magically addictive sensation.

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don’t know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I’m sure.

In my heart where I’ve built a wall, you grew loving vines in my days of doubts and gray clouds, you said; “in my eyes, darling you shine” Maybe you loved me then but I know, I loved you too late.

I dream of India becoming a great economic superpower.

One of the marks of maturity is the ability to disagree without becoming disagreeable.

I just wish to see you grow. I’m tired of seeing you stuck.

One day you’ll grow tired of people who don’t love you back.

The broken girls are the flowers of the earth they grow through tough conditions they bloom for themselves,

If you focus on goals, you may hit goals – but that doesn’t guarantee growth. If you focus on growth, you will grow and always hit goals.

To grow in unconditional love and in beauty is spirituality.
