-Emily Tynes on my continued short hair cut.
To which I replied, "I'm sick and tired of hearing all these people talk about what's the deal with this pop life and when is it gonna fade out. The thing you got to realise is what I'm doing is not a trend. I'm gonna bring it till the end. Now, why you wanna try to classify the type of thing I do 'cause I'm just fine doing what I like."
