Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When you're 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, it's really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didn't watch me that closely.

I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.

Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.

Nobody's ever made me feel boring but I'm pretty boring. I acknowledge that in myself.

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.

If that day comes when I'm done with the acting and singing, I'll just pack it in and go home.

I was happy to kind of always scoot under the radar.
