I'm constantly hydrating my hair.

We just recently saw Bruno Mars at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was incredible.

I write all of my songs from scratch, so the one thing I love about EDM is the way a song transforms into a piece of art, and how the different sounds can change the feel of the record.

I know what it takes, and you have to fight for yourself and what you believe in.

I never thought of myself as a songwriter. I was just an artist writing songs, and they just happened to get placed.

I've been in the room or watched artists walk in who don't write, and you can't figure out what they really want.

It's weird to me when an artist comes in, and the label says, 'We want him to sound like Chris Brown,' but he says he wants to sound like Sean Paul. There's a huge disconnect - it's like we're making a product.

I grew up in the era of Britney Spears, where artists had songs written for them, and you got up and sang them. That's how I always thought it was.

'Straight Outta Compton' was such a great movie, and obviously, I'm in the music business, so getting to see that piece of history was amazing, and it was an incredible movie.

It must be so hard trying to figure yourself out in this industry. Justin Bieber has hit rock-bottom with everyone watching him; that is just so tough.

I have put absolutely everything into my album. I feel like it's been such a long journey to get here. It is like giving birth to my first child, and I want to make sure I did everything right.

It's a very hard industry, and it's very cold. It's loving for when you have a hit record, but when you don't have anything going on, there's really not much support.

I think in a lot of situations I had got songs stolen from me, or treated badly.

I was very obsessed with my music, and I think that, as a young girl, I really wanted to get into this business, and I don't think my parents really knew how to protect me.

I don't really want to make this sound depressing, but I will say that I didn't really have my first kiss until really, really late.

I just don't let music genres define me.

It's one thing if you write a song and somebody else sings it because you give the OK. But if your voice is on something and you don't get the credit, it's kind of hard.

I will always, forever, write songs, and wherever they're meant to be is where they'll be.

When I first was a part of 'The Monster,' I really wanted to put it out under my name, but no record label thought it was good enough - until Eminem liked it.

I got so excited about it. I was like, 'Yes! I won a Grammy!' And then my manager was like, 'No, you did not win a Grammy. You were part of a song that won a Grammy. Rihanna won a Grammy.'

I just want us to all have a good time and to party and enjoy this life, because it's too short. It's too short.

Life is hard. It is. And it's like, I don't want anybody feeling any pain.

I want people to be happy.

Nothing really scares me anymore.
