I like to dip in and out of all sorts of different things. God, if I was asked to be in a show, like a real show, I would be so up for doing that.

When you get your first record deal, you will do anything, because you just want to sing.

My family fight, that's the way it is. We're not common as muck or anything but we do have a little fight now and then.
