You don't really get to know people behind the scenes. One can assume that it's out there, but I have no idea at the end of the day. I hope not.

I'm very blessed that I get to dabble in both music and movies, and as long as people are willing to accept me in both roles, I'll be there.

I've never been engaged. I definitely believe in the institution of marriage.

I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.

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.

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 guess at a certain point you think, well, singing is singing and acting is acting.
