The music industry had virtually blacklisted me.

I had been performing since I was 5, so it wasn't like I hadn't been on a stage before. I was always older than my age. That's my nature. I've always been a kind of mature kid.

I haven't had a vacation in years. I'd really like to sneak off and just run around on a beach for a while.

I knew early in life that I wanted a show business career.

I'll never be that trusting again, believing accountants and lawyers have my best interests at heart.

Cara is not my real name, and I'm not going to tell you what it is. Only because I do live in New York and enough people already know who my parents are.

If something isn't working out in one aspect of my career, it's not any big neurotic, crazy phase for me, it's just something that I accept, and that's okay. I'm not going to keep banging my head against the wall.
