Q: Would you rule out signing with another major?
A: No. It was important for me to build a foundation on my own and just get something off the ground. It seems like every time I get involved with a major label years go by and I can’t ****ing get an album out. I don’t understand it. Again, I think people’s expectations of me are so astronomically high that its like, “where’s your ‘Roar,’ where’s your ‘Teenage Dream’?” Why aren’t you asking other new artists, “Where’s your Like A Prayer?, Where’s your Thriller?”. I’m a new artist and I’m just trying to get the ball rolling.
Best song she wrote

Q: What is the best song you ever wrote?
A: Best song I wrote… I think “Teenage Dream” takes the cake. That was just a song that everyone, from the obvious 15-year-old girls crying in the audience to their dad, was like “This song spoke to me.” I was actually just listening to Fall Out Boy’s song “Centuries.” I actually met the lead singer at a CAA party last year and he was like, “Hey, I’m a big fan of your writing, ‘Teenage Dream’ is one of my favorite songs.” He quotes it in the song and every time I hear it — I’m like, “Hey I wrote that!”
Favorite artist she's worked with

Q: Who was your favorite person to work with in the studio?
A: I love Adam Lambert. He’s so cool. He’s so funny, he’s hilarious. He just has me in stitches. He’s also the best vocalist I’ve worked with, hands down, he’s incredible. Not only does he have a huge range and great instincts, he emotes. He’s very emotive. He was a professional musician before any of this American Idol **** happened. He’s been doing it his whole life. I really enjoy working with him.
On "Teenage Dream" (song & concept)... & Cheryl's "I Don't Care"
Quote:
Q: Is there a song you gave to someone else that you wanted to keep for yourself?
A: It happens all the time. “Teenage Dream” was really hard for me to give up — but that was a co-write… it was just a concept I had to break up with and mourn. “Roar” as well. Of course, I would want any of those giant hit songs to be my own. I wrote a song called “I Don’t Care,” that’s not what I called it actually. Cheryl Cole cut it and it went to number one in the UK last year. That was my 10th number one, so I’m grateful for it but I didn’t want to give it up. It was a song I had written for myself. They tweaked a couple lyrics and changed the title. The original title was “Waking Up Diagonal.”
Q: That’s a better title.
A: It’s the first line of the song. I just thought it was more interesting than “I Don’t Care,” which is such a boring title to me. When I hear that song it breaks my heart a little bit because it’s my story.
Q: Do you have a least favorite song?
A: That I’ve written? I mean there are times when I go in, write the song and it gets passed along to the producer, or the label gets a hold of it, and they tweak it and it gets botched. It happens a lot. I don’t want to name any names. I mean the Cheryl Cole song was great, they did a good job with it, but it just wasn’t the way I would do it. It really makes my skin crawl. I’m just like, “This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.”
Poor Bonnie I feel bad for her she's always talking about Katy. But that's ok she feels that way its a song she wrote but once you give out a song and get paid for it, they can do what they want with it. TBH can you imagine this:
AND THIS IS THE #1 this week Cheryl's WAKING UP DYAGONAL!!!!
omg my favorite song is Waking up dyagonal!!! omg mine too no Bonnie sis.
But that being said IDC is my 3rd most played song ever
The thing is, generally popstars never say "Yeah, I co-wrote this song with...", they say "I wrote that..." which is a bit unfair for the co-writers as well d'you know what I mean ?
I knew that teenage dream line in Centuries was done on purpose. 
here it is.
