I'm not about being sexy. I'm about the music.

I look up to Mandy Moore, because she's really classy. But when it comes to music, I'm my own person.

I love to dress myself. I have a unique style, but I don't try to do that - I just put on whatever I feel good in that day.

I want to go to Berkeley and major in music.

The funny thing is a lot of people assume that my parents are the ones pushing me to make music. The truth is that I'm the one dragging them along on this crazy ride. They'd much rather have a normal life, but it doesn't look like that's in the cards.

I auditioned [for America's Most Talented Kids] just to see where I would rank. I had been playing [gigs] around town, and I wanted to see what people thought of me because when I played a show, everyone would clap but I didn't know what they were really thinking.

I want to be around for a long time, I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I hope I'll be 50 years old and still making music.
