As well, she grew up listening to Bruce Springstein, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Elton John all whom had a big influence on how she is today.  She says she wants to have children someday but for right now she quotes,"I'm giving birth to lots of little monsters so I need to keep clear of stretch marks."  Thus, she refers to her fans as "Little Monsters".
