I have a very intrusive life, I guess you could say. I think that a lot of people know too much about me, truthfully.

I like when my freckles show or when I do shoots and they accentuate them. It's such a compliment.

There will be slow songs, sad songs, happy songs, songs about boys, and songs about being who you are. I'm making sure I'm happy with all of the songs, because if I am not happy with them, I can't expect anyone else to be, you know?

I want to get a master's degree in... psychology.

One thing I love about Lady Gaga is I feel like her sound is always evolving and changing with her and her phases of life.

I want to do things that are true to me and give people a sense of who I am.

The worst thing any of us can do for our self-esteem is compare ourselves to others, and that's especially true of women.

I wanted to convey the message of how I do what I want and how I run my own business, and I'm a woman in charge. I want all of my fans to know that that's possible and feel empowered when they listen to my music.

I've always had a passion for music - it's a real part of me.

To my younger self, I would say not to be so hard on yourself. I think that you are your biggest critic.

I'm so proud of 'As She Pleases.' It's a really personal record, and I put so much of myself into it that; it feels like I am sharing part of my soul with the world by releasing it.

I think it's important for people to be themselves and express themselves through their makeup or their hair or their perfume or whatever it may be.

A lot of people are really focused on me. I always say, 'Why focus on someone more than yourself?'

When you're walking in heels in a long dress, you're bound to fall at some point.

Not every girl who wears makeup feels like, 'Oh, I'm so ugly without it.' I wear makeup because it's fun to put on, and I feel pretty with it on.

I use the Tatcha Cleansing Oil. That's probably what I splurge on the most.

Do what you want to do, and don't feel pressure to do what other people want.

I would like to perform at the Nassau Coliseum; that's the goal.

I actually wash my face with Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's the best face wash. I swear, it's so good! I mean, think about it. It's made for a baby's head. It smells so good, it's sensitive, and it gives you a super clean feeling.

I want to be role model for people to be like, 'I don't need a major label to be a successful artist and to have a successful song.'

I only have a stylist when I go to big events, but even then, I give them moodboards to show exactly how I want to look, so I'm mostly in control. I dress myself on a daily basis, though.

90% of my clothes are from vintage stores. It's not about where you buy but how you look.

I take off my makeup with coconut oil some nights. It sounds like it would clog your pores, but I swear it's saved my skin.

It's your career, your face, your name. You have to be in control because if something gets messed up or something doesn't look how you want it to, you're the only one to blame.
