'Die Young' songstress Ke$ha has admitted that she keeps a list of people who have said negative things about her in the past as a way to motivate her to always push for the best.

Speaking to Seventeen magazine, the pop star explained that she has been met with criticism throughout her career and instead of being offended by it she likes to use it as inspiration to be better:

"I used [negativity] to motive me then, and I still do. I remember every person who told me I couldn't do something or that I was ugly or too fat."

"I have a 's**t list', people from my past who have been soulless and judgmental. Even after I got through my awkward phase, got my braces off and figured out how to dress my body, people in the music business were like, 'You're never going to make it'."

She also added that part of the reason she named her new record 'Warrior' is because of the sometimes hostile reception she receives from the public:

"I see them now and I'm like, 'Ha!'. That's one of the reasons I named my record 'Warrior'. You can be a victim and let that eat your soul or you can say, 'You're going on my list and I'm going to prove you wrong'."
