I'm a bargain shopper.

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 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.

[People say]'You're always happy' and I'm, like, sometimes I have a huge zit on my face. But if you smile, people won't notice that. I do have bad-hair days but if you feel confident in yourself it would make people want to be around you.

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

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

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.
