Pop Is Actually My Least Favorite Kind

I Don't See Makeup As A Defense. I See It As A Creative Outlet. I Am A Woman Who Has My Extreme Vulnerable Side And My Baggage--and At Times I Feel Extremely Weak. And Who's To Say A Little Mascara Doesn't Make You Feel More Confident When You Pop It On And Look In The Mirror? It Helps, Especially In My Position, Where I Have People Waiting Down The Street To Take Pictures Of Me So They Can Evaluate And Criticize Every Little Flaw On My Face.

Honestly, I Just Want To Have A Good Time, Listen To Great Singers And Great Music, And Just Use My Instincts, As Usual.

I Think It's A Given That People Know What I Can Do Vocally.

Whatever I Do, It's My Business. It's Not My Job To Parent America.

People Who See An Unhappy, Sulky Pop Star Assume That She's An Ungrateful, Self-absorbed Little Ninny. But Nobody Knows What's Really Going On. I Need To Eat, I Need To Sleep, And Sometimes Those Things Weren't Considered. It Was Like, "when Do You Think I'll Have Time To Go To The Bathroom?" That Wasn't On The Schedule.
