It's about you putting in the work, practicing every day, and hopefully one day you write the song the whole world wants to get down to. And one day you're going to be sitting next to Ellen DeGeneres talking about how you broke records and rocked the Super Bowl!

I'm quite happy with the music carrying on. I've never been one to clamor for fame. It just got dumped in my lap. The ambition is definitely not fame. The ambition is to be creative.

Men of great ambition have sought happiness . . . and have found fame.

The outside world wants me to have glamour; my fans want me glamorous. I won't let them down.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
