I can take a week's vacation - maybe a week and a half - but after that, I'm itching to go back to work.

I've had a normal life, but I have struggled to get here. It hasn't been handed to me and it hasn't been easy.

If I like you, I'll confront you and be open about it. Then I expect you to come after me.

I want people to know that I'm a real person, and that I've been through normal situations, like crushes and heartbreaks.

I did find some time to go to a record store and check out "Headstrong" actually in the racks. It was pretty cool; I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

My mom is very confident and she was always a role model of mine.

I never give up on things.
