Music is such an intensely personal thing for me, and I knew if I was going to do it, it would be in my own way.

It's really special to be a part of something that's really changing lives.

More than anything, acting helped me discover who I'm not. I've learned that I'm a girly girl, but not a prissy girl.

I never wash my hair the night before an event - I call it second day hair, and it holds better. Also, the day before, test run your makeup and watch it every couple of hours (see if your mascara is bleeding, or if your lip gloss runs out really quickly). Oh, and for me, shoe-wise, platforms give me the same height that I need, but they're not as taxing on my feet.

I'm very, very low-key in general.

With 'Suite Life,' I had three years to sit a little bit on the back burner and learn with less pressure.

Somewhere in the midst of smudgy maps, following waters, surviving the storms, & deep, deep digging.. treasure is found.
