I'm a creature of habit and I like to stay in my own little comfort zone, but you have to reach out of that sometimes. And when you do that, you grow.

I can honestly say that I am happier now than I have ever been. For the first time in my life I feel free.

You do learn from what you've done in the past.

I would love to have a rapper on one of my songs, like Ludacris, or the 'it's so hot in here' guy, Nelly.

I posed nude to show my parents they couldn't dictate to me any more - that I control my life.

Michael and I talk at least every two weeks. He understands why I've done the things I have.

I can count the number of dates I've had on one hand. I wish that guys would approach me, but they don't.
