“I’m not ashamed to admit I like Britney Spears, no way!” she giggles. “For me, it was something about her personality that appealed to me. She was this delicious package of weird wrongness on a lot of levels. People didn’t really know how to handle her because the media displayed her as a little girl who didn’t know what was going on when Britney was actually very educated and intellectual. She is smart and I genuinely think she had amazing social skills because she seriously pulled off the whole circus of her life for a long time. It takes skill to work from eight years old up until 25 and not go completely crazy. I’m more in awe of her determination and I admire her in the same way that I admire Madonna.”
