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'm not really a fan of people who think they're better than others. There's no reason to act that way. I couldn't even stand to yell at someone if they bumped right into me.

I write almost everything, actually. Songs, poems, stories. And stories out of every genre, too.

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

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.

I'd love to do a Broadway show, but I can't because of the style I sing.

I love to shop at Macy's. It has a huge Guess section and lots of Jessica Simpson stuff.
