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

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

I had been wrong when I said Liza McCullen wasn't beautiful: when she smiled she was stunning.

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

I love being creative.

I would love to work with Nickleback. I think they're an incredible band. One of my favorites.
