I am not a pop musician; I don't want to play bubble-gummy pop stuff.

Happy music doesn't tend to move me much.

I used to be afraid to use the word 'pop' to describe my music, but underneath my tough, bad-girl sound, there's some fun.

My label, my genre, my everything is happy sad - I do a smiley face with eyes on both sides. So basically to me, it's totally okay to be happy and sad at the same time, it's totally okay just to be sad, it's totally okay to be happy.

If you say, 'I listen to pop,' you picture this kind of perfect, colorful, polished song. I want to have that, but when you open it, you see this gritty dark - kind of like dancing your tears away. Disguise the sadness in a pop beat.

When you're part of a pop phenomenon, you have so many opinions shoved down your throat.

Pop was great fun.

I think anyone who's perfectly happy isn't particularly funny.
