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 like pencil skirts because they hug me in all the right places.

I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.

Being honest...[to reporters] Not the worst thing in the world. Don't write that down.

I love film, but it's bringing me away from music. Singing is what I'm probably most passionate about.

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

I grew up on Nintendo. Mario was my best friend. I can't wait to get inside and play Nintendo GameCube.
