I was looking through a newspaper and it was an audition for 'Kids Say the Darndest Things,' so I tried out. One thing led to another and I appeared on 'The Rosie O'Donnell Show' and 'Oprah.

I bite my fingernails. That's probably not a good thing.

I don't attend an actual school but I'm still following through with high school. I do work with a tutor for about six hours a day. It's hard core but definitely worth it, and it's my main focus now - finishing up high school before I release my new album and apply to college.

I look up to people who succeed in accomplishing their dreams.

When I was 4 or 5 and I could put complete thoughts together and really feel them, I remember watching the Grammy's or something like that and getting real emotional because I wanted to be up there.

I'm like a hermit. Once I'm home, I'm home and when I ride in the car, I don't really listen to the radio as much.

You can be young and still have views and opinions.
