I was strong enough not to let them get the best of me, but I'm definitely one who has taken what people say to heart and let it eat away at me.

I was in New York and I walked into this pet store and came out with a dog.

Part of growing up is just taking what you learn from that and moving on and not taking it to heart.

For the longest time, I never thought I was intimidating to guys, but I'm kind of finding out that maybe there is some tiny thread of intimidation.

Actually, the kids at school don't treat me any differently at all just because I'm on television.

Even though college has been hard, I don't want to give up.

Music is so powerful to me. I had my IPod and headphones, and my sad playlist. I kind of ventured off for just a little bit to get into the scene.
