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

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 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.

My parents are OK with me wearing a small heel, up to 1.5 inches high. Heels give me height when I wear such long dresses. For me, they complete the outfit.

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.

When I go to school, I'm always happy because it's a normal kid thing.

Celine Dion is my major inspiration.
