I think celebrity culture and sexuality in pop music is really important, but I want there to be an alternative for people.

This obsession with celebrity culture is really unhealthy. I don't want to live my life like that, and I don't want to be a typical pop star.

I'm not really part of that 'L.A. thing' or that celebrity culture. I'm more like someone who observes it, and I can't ever imagine being like that.

I'm a pop victim. I love pop music; I love pop culture. I love Olivia Newton-John.

I'm masquerading as an innocent pop star.

My dad's quite a conservative person, and he brought me up to be very questioning of the commercial world. He looked down on pop culture. I definitely got the impression that pop was evil and that Britney Spears was evil.
