My style philosophy is: Be comfortable.

Wear the outfit; don't let the outfit wear you.

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 remember writing 'All I Want Is You' and hoping it would get me out of trouble. I haven't stopped writing songs or getting into trouble since.

I was shopping at my local mall in Dallas that I've gone to for like three years now. And everyone was like "Oh my God, who's that? Who's that?" And I was like whatever, because you know, there are like 20 people traveling with me. It's like I have an entourage following me -- which is so funny.

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

It's a little awkward to know that the world is going to see you and your mom argue about stupid things and watch me get grounded...again.
