I love looking through magazines, and you know, I love getting dressed up to go to events and stuff.

Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.

There's so much to explore! And personally, I don't know. It's such a crapshoot.

I guess I have sort of an atypical relationship with my mom for someone my age, because I think I started so young with the music thing and I had my parents always on the road with me. So at a time when I think I should have been rebelling like in high school, they were actually my best friends.

I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.

When I was first starting out in the music industry, I was always coupled in the same sentence with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - and I was probably the worst of them. I think a lot of people back then thought, 'Mandy Moore... she'll probably go back to where she came from in a year.'

I do think it's possible to change for the better.
