I think when it comes to pop I'm past the point of curiosity. I admit to a full-on obsession with it, and I think it's getting worse, actually.
— Carly Rae Jepsen
Candy apple red is my favorite color. It's a powerful color to wear. It's always been that way - I've always been really attracted to that color.
I really like guys who have confidence, but not the cocky over-the-top confidence.
The airport paparazzi kind of wigs me out a little bit.
I definitely have a little attraction to bad guys, but they have to be sweethearts underneath. After all, I like to be treated well.
I'm a little bit of a hippie at heart, so I always wear things that are comfortable and flowing.
I'm a very lucky girl.
Reading serves as a good escape when you're in the middle of doing crazy things.
The way I write is generally about love. I have a great fascination about the subject.
I think in general, lines are a bad idea. Especially if they sound like lines. Everyone's immediate reaction is to just kind of cringe a little bit.
I like to swim. It's good for the body and it helps clear my head.
Canada was my whole world and my whole reality, and now I meet people who've never been there, and it's like, 'You've never been to my whole world?'
I'm still enjoying discovering more designers and getting to play dress-up in a bigger way than I ever have before.
Pretty much everyday, there's a moment where I'm having to pinch myself and think, 'When did this happen to my life?'
My tactic is to make eyes at someone.
I like when the song starts to take over and you feel like you have to dance more than write.
One of my favorite things to make is homemade sushi. I know how to make the rolls and it's really fun to do.
I waited for my first kiss.
I'm not going to freeze under the pressure. I'm hoping I can stand up to it.
I always wanted to be known as a songwriter and not just a songbird.
I've never been an all-black girl. I like pinks and blues and greens. If you come over to my closet, you'll be able to find a rainbow of things to wear.
I can't tell you how lucky I feel to be able to collaborate with some of my dream producers.
I have a couple of girlfriends who've told me some horror stories but I've never had a really terrible kiss before.
A lot of people don't know how to talk on the phone anymore.
I do think grand gestures are a hit and miss, especially for girls.
I like to travel by myself.
I know my music is going well when I don't have insomnia.
I feel very giddy with the idea of making my imagination take form and being able to put on a show where people leave feeling like they've experienced something.
There's been a progression in my sound.
No, I haven't asked for a guy's number, but I've always wanted to.
For nighttime or for an event, I'm all about the nice heel. Something that's still walkable but definitely very elegant.
I really like to cook.
My music is bejewelled, it's colourful, it's romantic, it shines.
My main concern is getting out an album that I feel really proud of.
I just want to be the best Carly Rae I can be.
I feel very, very blessed.
I always write what feels really true and honest and me.
I went to a Canadian college for performing arts and then I auditioned for Canadian Idol. That honestly was my golden ticket.
You can't always understand if someone's into you or not, so you should never really pursue something too far without gauging that first.
I like to mix and match vintage with designer. It's how I create my own style.
I like Los Angeles. So many artistic people, and I just love the weather.
I have so many gay friends that I love.
There's always a special feeling I have while writing any song.
I have a secret love of jazz.
