My style icons were Gwen Stefani, when she was in No Doubt, and then Shirley Manson in Garbage.		506
I'd go to the farmers' market in Santa Barbara, and I'd put out my guitar case, and I'd test out these little ditty songs that I would write, and I would get a couple of avocados, a bag of pistachios, and, like, fifteen bucks. That was a lot of money for me.		507
When I was younger, I used to be a part of the surfing-and-skateboarding community.		508

At my second record label, they told me and other female artists that some of us were going on the chopping block. I was 19... and it was devastating.		514
It was so draining. Going to parties to rub elbows with so-and-so and act like it's no big deal, when really all I was doing was hoping I'd have the success they had.		515
I'm not defined by where I came from. I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe, then I'm happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.		516
My career is like an artichoke. People might think that the leaves are tasty and buttered up and delicious, and they don't even know that there's something magical hidden at the base of it. There's a whole other side of me that people didn't know existed.		517
I come from a very non-accepting family, but I'm very accepting.		518
I have multipersonality disorder - in a very good way, of course - when it comes to my fashion choices.		519

The media tried to destroy my parents and has taken things completely out of context, but there's not a whole lot you can do in terms of fighting back. You have to hope that it passes, which it always does. But they have to be careful. They didn't necessarily sign up for this.		526
I don't feel like I'm very pop-star lame, but I'm definitely not hipster-cool.		601
I want to sell out arenas and sell millions of records.		602
My parents were strict, but it was the world I lived in. I had no idea there was a world outside.		603
With songs, I've always pledged to be honest. I write my songs because I've lived them.		604

When I first started out, I was really attracted to having my own sense of style because I started swing dancing, lindy hop, and jitterbug.		606
I have a lot of ambition.		607
I just feel like I have this gift that I've been given. It's like, 'Someone unwrap it! Here it is!' That drive can't be held down.		608

The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.		611
I love hearing my song on the radio the first time, but when it comes on again, I change the station. I already have so much of the spotlight on me. I don't need any more.		612
I don't take anything for granted. There are 500 other girls right behind me. And I know that, because I was one of them.		613
I grew up listening to gospel. That was the only thing that I had reference to because that was what my family was involved with.		614
I grew up in a life where the answer was always there, I guess. But now I'm out on my own and still looking for the answer. Nothing is solved for me.		615
I didn't have a childhood.		616
My dad would give me $10, which is a lot of money when you're 9, to sing at church, on tables at restaurants, at family functions, just about anywhere.		617
I am so grateful for all the love and support I've had from people around the world.		618
My singing is really important to me, but when children come along they'll be my main focus. I'd never put my career in front of my babies - it'd be a case of fitting jobs around them.		619
I got a fantastic person to work me out and get me into really good shape.		620
I was raised in a super-sheltered atmosphere where we didn't watch anything besides Trinity Broadcasting Network - which was called TBN - or the Fox News channel.		621
I'm not defined by where I came from.		622
