I would never discredit anyone that is working their way up on a show like "American Idol." I think they work so hard overcoming all of the obstacles to get on the show in the first place and then every week they are judged in front of all of America... I give them complete credit for getting up on stage... I think they deserve all the success that they get.

I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.

I do find it bizarre that people find it bizarre that I've grown up.

I was always the first one to break. I'll admit it. I couldn't keep a straight face.

I like older boys, but they think, 'She's underage.' I'd love to have somebody in mind when I sing.

Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.

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