My family still treats me like they did when I was 7 or 6.

I normally wear Stuart Weitzman or Kors Michael Kors.

I miss my friends in public school, but it's kind of a part of something that you have to give up. I'd rather perform than go to public school.

Singing is my main goal, and I think philosophy will help me write songs.

The only thing that really inspired me for singing was the movie and musical 'Phantom of the Opera.' I went to see it in the theaters, and I loved it so much. And when I got home, I started singing the songs around the house, and my mom thought I was really good, so she asked me if I wanted to do a talent competition. And I said, 'Yes, definitely.'

Um, well, I made a new CD called 'Dream With Me' and it's out now, and I'm really excited about it.

I still have my school friends who are actually friends. It's nice that they don't think much about my singing career. They think it is cool, and they are happy for me, but they don't really bother me about it. To them, I'm still just the schoolgirl from next door.
