It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with.

My little sister Aliana's opinions are the most important to me. She says, 'I want to look like you, you're so pretty!' But she is very beautiful and so she is trouble in the making! She wants to do what I do. I'm like her second mother and I am very protective of her.

I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.

So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving.

I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.

My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people.

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.
