It's hard to find normal celebrities.

We see new male artists have their first single reach No. 1 on the charts, but it generally takes a female a lot longer to build momentum.

Growing up, I played softball and I was a cheerleader.

Technically I have siblings, but they are quite a bit older than me - I was the accident - so I have the only-child syndrome going on. I'm a little more selfish, a little more independent, a little closed. I do wish I were softer. I wish I were able to form relationships better.

I honestly in a lot of ways don't want to sing about my real life, because that's private.

I never wanted to be a wild kid. I respected my parents and I had great friends. I was lucky. We did a lot of church activities. There were the bad kids in school who partied all the time, but none of my close friends did.

I love being on camera. And I love knowing what's going on in the world. Diane Sawyer is my favorite. She never seems to lower herself to get the job done. She just always carries herself well. I really admire her.
