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 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.

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.

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