I don't look at her like she's a bad girl. She just misunderstood sometime, she's a little troubled, she's a little dysfunctional. She's a survivor.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
I'm kind of a good girl - and I'm not. I'm a good girl because I really believe in love, integrity, and respect. I'm a bad girl because I like to tease. I know that I have sex appeal in my deck of cards. But I like to get people thinking. That's what the stories in my music do.
It's so much fun to play the bad girl. Everybody has that little side of them they never really get to get out.
The whole 'bad girl' thing allows me to mess up sometimes. And I have freedom to say more of what I want to.
