I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did (during the Korean War), when she went and just set up a stage and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It's so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere, this beautiful sex kitten, who's basically a pinup, which is what I've always aspired to be.

I'm my own person, and people can say whatever they want. I'm still going to be the person that I am.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!

I really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, but singing I've been doing since I was really young.

I want to interact with my fans, and I want to let people know what I'm doing and stuff like that because I'd want to know.

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