There's an obligation to not lead people down the wrong path, but I hardly think me wearing short shorts on stage is creating monsters.

I think stupid people are surprised that I'm Australian. It's a small-minded; we live in a global community, but I suppose some people still are small-minded.

My real name is Amethyst. It sounds like a stage name. My mom is kind of crazy.

I think some people think I'm, like, anti-label, and I'm not. I just wanted to sign a deal when the time was right. I'm anti being shot out of a rocket when you're not ready and the songs and image aren't there.

I always say: 'Share your happiness with the world, give other people that happiness and let it come back,' but some things make me question it. I don't know if I want some people to know that I am happy. I think a lot of people want to take it away from you, and that's really scary.

How does someone just start drooling? Chase? Were you wearing your short shorts?
