'I was always sent to the principal's office for kissing boys': Ariana Grande says she was well-behaved but slightly mischievous as a young girl
She's the pint-sized pop princess who oozes sex appeal on stage and in her music clips.
And singer Ariana Grande, 22, has revealed she has always had a certain confidence with the opposite sex.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, the star - who was named one of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people - said she had a habit of getting told off for being mischievous as a young girl.

Mischievous! Singer Ariana Grande, 22, said she had a penchant for getting in trouble at preschool for 'kissing boys'
When asked whether she thought she was well-behaved as a child, the singer replied: 'Yes. I believe I was, though when I was in preschool, I was always sent to the principal's office for kissing boys in the playground.'
She added: 'But it got to the point where as soon as I got to the principal's office, he'd just hand me a bag of M&Ms.'
The pop sensation continued to say that she doesn't want to be defined by a certain stereotype, and instead wants to have the freedom to be whatever she wants to be.
Tiny tot! The pint-sized pop princess said she's both 'a good girl' and 'a bad girl', depending on her mood
'I'm a good girl, I'm a bad girl, I'm innocent, I'm sexy, I'm smart, I'm funny - I'm everything. Whatever I feel like wearing that day, it doesn't define me. It defines what mood I'm in. That applies to all women,' she said.
The actress-turned-singer has had a life in the spotlight, after being cast in her first Broadway musical at the age of 13.
According to the publication, after moving to LA, her manager advised her to audition for sitcoms until she was of an age deemed appropriate enough for her sexy R&B voice to be as successful as possible.

Ariana starred as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon TV series Victorious for three years from 2010 and has since forged an extremely successful music career.
The Break Free hitmaker was honoured with the gong for Best Female Pop/Rock Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards in November 2015.
She dedicated the award to her 'nonna' in an emotional acceptance speech.
Through tears, she said: 'I just want to thank my fans - I have the most incredible fans. Ew I'm crying! But I love you guys. Thank you so, so much.
'I also want to say thank you to my family who are here tonight. I owe a lot of this to my Nonna!'

Cut it out like Ariana with a Versace frock
Ariana Grande was a standout star at the 2016 Billboard Awards in this Atelier Versace gown which hailed from the from the Spring 2016 runway. The striking black and blue gown featured geometric embroidery, cut out and harness details throughout, and a thigh-high slit.
Despite the little hiccup of nearly face-planting when she went up to the E! Live on the Red Carpet stage, Arina walked the carpet with the kind of sass that only a Versace dress could lend.
