I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college, and just become a better person.

German? I don't know what that means ... we don't say that in America.

I also try to read all of my fan mail. A lot of them send me candy, which I'm not allowed to eat 'cause my mom says it might be poisonous.

I learned if you have $100 or $100 million - if you spend more than you have, you’re going to go broke.

There's more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.

Now that I'm on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot.

We're trying to set up a movie for me in the near future. It's going to be similar to the story of how I got discovered. Kinda like my own version of '8 Mile.'
