Some of her bestbest-known quotes:

- "I'm singing from my heart now more than ever. I've gotten a lot braver with my writing."
- "I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK.' "The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings to you."
- "As a woman I feel offended because these artists portray women as people that can only do well in the world by selling their bodies. I'm determined to help prove that to be false"
- "If people make fun fun of you, you must be doing something right"
- "When you go through tragedy, you can either let that destroy you and you become bitter and never let it go, or you can let it make you stronger and let it make you grow. And that's what I did. My lyrics are coming from a place that I want people to relate to and feel that they're not alone"
- “Britney Spears and all that, they don’t threaten me, they don’t bother me, because they’re not talented.”
- "I don't want to ever be a quote-unquote rock star. I want to just be me."
- "There's one thing I believe, is that I don't know anything and anything could happen."
- "Don't be afraid of the shadows, it only means there's a light nearby."
- "I cry alot-Ia lot-I dontdon't know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful"
- "Sometimes I pick my nose. There you have it."



I admire her because she express many different feelings in her songssongs, thatwhich identify people all over the world, and with her music she can make someone feel better or feel that he'sthey're not alone.
