I was a hop-around. I hung out with the rockabilly crew, the guys who were trying to be rappers, the funny kids.

I like to go out there looking like a strong woman, because I am strong. But I am also a woman who goes through all kinds of problems and highs and lows.

I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.

My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.

I'm competitive with myself, and that goes hand in hand with how I present myself. I'm not only trying to put one foot in front of the other, I'm trying to put my best foot forward.

You know you're living right when you wake up, brush your hair - and confetti falls out!
