I'm like the Christina Aguilera of the Internet.

I'm not aiming to be someone like Christina Aguilera.

Certain people want to see me solely as a pop act, but there are many different sides to Christina Aguilera besides the pop girl.

I think Christina Aguilera is great; I would love to work with her.

I have a lot of friends who do what I do. Either they're actresses or singers or things like that.

I grew up with a lot of people who are famous now. I was friends with Hilary and Haley Duff. They are such lovely girls. I have watched their careers blossom, which I am really happy for. I grew up with Ashley Tisdale; we used to both live in Valencia, so we used to hang out back in the day.

I don't have many famous friends, really, except Simon Cowell.

When I worked with M.I.A., who was, like, the coolest person back then, she was just a girl I met on the Internet. Or even when I met Azealia Banks on Myspace, I never thought, 'Oh, she's cool.' I just loved what she was doing. So I've always been like that. And I think, as a producer, that's what you've gotta do.

I'm good friends with Jay Leno, good friends with Ed O'Neill, Melanie Fiona and Russell Simmons.
