I got to meet some of the best people I've ever met, and we all grew as people and as entertainers.

I grew up listening to everything. I have such a love for music, but I don't want to make the same album over and over again.

My very first magazine cover was the National Enquirer.

When I got into all the grunge stuff, I really liked Hole. I actually saw them in concert when I was a sophomore in high school. It was kind of rare to see a successful female rocker get down and dirty with the guys. And Courtney Love did. It was fun to be a fan of something different.

The first one I remember singing on stage was 'Somewhere Out There' from 'An American Tail.' I was around 7, and my choir teacher at school asked me if I would sing it. My parents told me that I needed to move around the stage, so for the entire time I just walked back and forth from side to side while I was singing - there's videotape of it.

I'm girlie in the sense that I like makeup, but I also love sports and man food.
