I was raised in a mostly white neighborhood. I was this little white girl jamming out to Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Brown.

Everything I listen to is influential in some way.

I’m familiar with a lot of guys, hang out with those guys. A couple of my teammates actually went to Florida, so I’m familiar with a lot of those guys. It's going to be fun walking out with a victory and rubbing it in their faces.

I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.

Music is something that I have to do on a regular basis. It really is my life and I absolutely love it. It's a part of my day-to-day. So if I had to choose, it would be music. But I love acting too.

I think we should all come together, and that race and color or social demographics really don't matter.

If anyone will listen I will continue to sing.
