So many times nowadays it's about having two good songs on an album and a bunch of filler, and I wanted to make something that I felt every song on the album was fun for everybody.

You've got to be fine with who you are.

Everyone is different, but I'm not standoffish at all. I'm not one of those people who prefer to write a note. I'll walk right up to you and ask you out! Even if the answer's no, I'm totally cool with it.

I know my style of music is very eclectic.

I sing all the time but I'd never gotten what it felt like to be in the recording studio, so it was definitely a learning process.

Everybody at school knew who I was because I'm just a really friendly person.

I've been acting since I was 2 and have always been on camera but doing a video is different because when you're acting, you pretend the camera's not there and you just do the scene and with a music video you're right in the camera so it feels weird sometimes.
