"Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen covers the January issue of Cosmo and proves to be quite the soundbite machine! Girl is deep!

 On looking much younger than her age: “If people think I look younger, then that’s great; I’m stoked. But I turned 27 in November, and when I look in the mirror, I see all of the years attached to that face, and I’m content with me.”

On critics who say she dresses too young: “I love being classy and as elegant as possible in my apartment. But when I’m onstage, I can’t dance in 4 and a half inch heels, so I’ll generally sport flats. I’m 5 feet 2 inches, so yeah, I’m going to look a little bit more playful. But I don’t think that means I’m trying for an age younger than I am.”

On seeing her songs come to life: “For me, the goal of music has never been ‘I need to be the biggest superstar in the world.’ It was ‘I want to spend my life doing this, and I want to make a career that I can live off of so I don’t have to tend bar and waitress to make this fly.’  I don’t want to be Cinderella for a night. I want to be Cinderella for life.”
