It's Friday and I'm ready to swing. Pick up my girls and hit the party scene.

I wanted to be different and original but still have it be something my fans could get into. There also are some big, beautiful ballads. I told my producers that I wanted tracks that are going to blow up in the clubs, but I also wanted songs that were very melodic and with a lot of instrumentation.

I go through the same problems all young people go through. Being in this business, I accept that there are positives and negatives but having a strong family base and a belief in God enables me to weather the storms.

If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it's always cool. The kids are amazing.

I think it's important to take a break, you know, from the public eye for a while, and give people a chance to miss you. I want longevity. I don't want to get out there and run myself ragged and spread myself thin.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Keep working hard and you can get anything that you want.
