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

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.

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.

Why do I, Mandy Moore, get a record deal?

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

I love the idea of getting up early on Sundays and walking to the market to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It's a good way to start my day, and it makes me feel like I've accomplished something before other people are even awake.
