Boyfriends? Psh, like I've got time for that!

Giving back is the right thing to do, whether it's donating clothing or even just a smile to someone who needs it.

I want my fans to understand that what you put into the universe is what you get back.

Growing up, my family struggled to make ends meet, so I know how important organizations like The Salvation Army are for families to lean on in times of need.

I'd love to work with Kanye West. He's gone through a lot of stuff in the public eye, but his music is genius. He always takes risks.

When I was 16, I had a really big hit in the K-pop world. It was a hip-hop/R&B/pop song. I kinda strayed from that because of the writers I was hanging out with.

I went through that stage of the Mumford & Sons and the Alanis Morissette vibe. I was in a dark place at the time.

My favorite artists are Kanye West, Jay Z, the Fugees, Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child.

My ideal night would probably be a dope outfit, people that I love around me. Go to get some dinner, have some amazing food. Maybe sushi or Italian: I love both.

Nicki Minaj is a very strong woman who knows exactly what she wants. As an artist, I understand her, and I could see how she could be misunderstood by a lot of people, but she is really passionate about her art, and that's something I really admire about her.

What I like about the EMAs is that you will never know what happens.

It was always my dream to be part of MTV and make history.

Anytime there was an award show, it was a ritual where me and my mom would sit around and watch with my friends. We would make desserts and buy chips and popcorn and see what our favorite performances of the night were.

When I was a little girl, my dream was just to hear my song on the radio. It was very fascinating to me, and I was like, 'How do I do that?' Now it's like, 'Oh my God, my song is on the radio!'

I wanted to be part of pop culture, so I started songwriting, and I got signed to my first record deal.

I played the trumpet for nine years, and then I joined the choir after that, and then I was in musicals in high school.

It all started when I was 4. I was watching a lot of 'The Little Mermaid,' and I loved that movie. I was going around the house singing - I wanted to be on Disney and everything; I wanted to be a princess.

The world can be very small. That's why you have to be very careful, whoever you meet.

I was a Versace perfume girl at Saks Fifth Avenue, and Rihanna actually came up to the counter and asked for something. And she wouldn't even take her sunglasses off! She was so mean to me. Not mean, but, like, guarded. I don't blame her, though.

We don't wake up happy and looking absolutely perfect and feeling amazing every day, you know? We're only human. So I think, with me, I'm not really scared to let people see that - because it's real.

I think, especially in pop culture, we're brought up to think that a normal pop star is this pretty, well-kept-together girl.

Since I'm on a tour bus, sometimes it's really hard for me to wash my face, so I always make sure I have those Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes. No matter what and no matter how long the days are, I always have to wash with those before bed and when I wake up.

For mascara, I'll just use whatever I have in my bag. I'll use anything. I feel like, from drugstores to a Saks, they are all the same to me.

If you can't find dry shampoo, baby powder is great.
