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.

I don't think I'll ever want to do pop music. I think I'll only ever want to do classical crossover because it's something that I love, and pop just doesn't work for me.

Celine Dion is my major inspiration.

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.

I'm not going to choose between classical, Broadway or pop. I would love to stay where I am now - a mix of everything.

I love Lady Gaga. She's not afraid to take risks and be herself.

I write about heartbreak because I like writing about sad things, but I'm writing happy songs, too!
