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

It's good to kind of get away from the star treatment.

Acting and singing are actually very similar because they're both telling a story.

It's always exciting to see different cities I love, and go on tour buses. It's so much fun to travel. My favorite part is being able to perform live in front of all these amazing people; being able to connect with them and seeing their reaction makes me feel very special.

The music kind of possesses me when I sing. So whenever I start to sing on a show - I mean, first, I'm nervous, and then when I get into it, it's just like I feel like I'm the person who sang the song first.

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

My advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.
