Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.

I think it's a lot more interesting to watch a character go through a transition in a movie. You love her and then you almost want to not like her because she gets mean and gets 'lost' and everything.

I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

I feel like the modeling industry is a little bit more accepting of women who make mistakes. They appreciate the idea of icons.

Girls my age dress so much raunchier than I'd ever imagine myself dressing. I understand that I'm a role model, though, and I have to look out for that. I have a 10-year-old sister, too. But you also want to be appealing to guys and stuff, that's just something girls feel. It's hard. You want to be that girl that's unattainable to all the guys because there are so many other girls out there that are like that.

Say 'no' more than 'yes,' and just make sure you surround yourself with good people.

It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great.
