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 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.

Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer.

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

I would like to sing for the Pope. And the Queen, and at Simon Cowell's wedding.

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

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