I see a lot of true artists... then you see them on the cover of Maxim. That's the lowest of low to me. I would never do anything like that.

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.

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'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 can't start the day without] checking my cellphone... I love messages!

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.
