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

Christina Aguilera and I are friends no matter what the media makes up.

The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I'm on a label that's not really like that. They're not trying to dress me up, they're not trying to do things like that. I feel like I'm sort of separate from that, actually.

People always want to talk about who I was, but I've always been singing, always been experimenting with pop music.

I don't see myself as a pop star, just a singer.

I'm definitely a pop artist at heart.

I think people who just know me from my band think I don't like pop music. The truth is I love pop music.

I'm like the Christina Aguilera of the Internet.

It's kind of like I'm Phil Spector, and I'm forcing a young girl to make pop music and perform exhaustively. Except, instead of it being someone else, that girl is also me.

I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
