[Oct/Nov 2012] On her upcoming album :
“The first record was a celebration of partying and being young, but this record’s a better look at my personality. Whatever, I drink like a champion. But I can also do other stuff. I have a sense of humor about my lyrics. I’m not a train wreck, I’m just having fun.”On her childhood: “I came from a single-parent home, my mom had a nose ring and tattoos, and I’d make my own clothes. People just thought I was a f***ing freak.” On spending money: “I’m not frivolous, I never go shopping, and I love cheap costume jewelry.
