College is for finding yourself. I've established who I want to be.

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.

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

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'm a bargain shopper.

I don't know what's going to happen. I take it day by day, playing my music.
