I'd always been quite quiet growing up, and singing was a way of having a voice.

I get road rage. I can't drive because I cuss people out.

I feel like I've lived quite a sheltered life, like my mom and dad were quite protective of me.

I think when people see that you are shy, or even just calm, collected and reserved, they think you can be pushed around, made to do everything they want - but that's definitely not true of me. The people closest to me know that's not the case. They know I'm not a pushover.

I went to Clive Davis' Grammy party, and I nearly spontaneously combusted because everyone on my iPod was there!

I definitely keep myself secret.

I don't like going out where it's really, really crowded.
