I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.

I've got a crush on you, I hope you feel the way that I do, I get a rush when I'm with you... oh I got a crush on you.

I don't cook very well at all. I'm the girl that can't make scrambled eggs.

When I started out in the industry I was 14 and a beanpole, but over the last few years I've grown. For the most part I feel pretty OK with how I look. I know I'm different from the typical Hollywood ideal of what is beautiful. But quite frankly I don't think that's attainable, and I'm happy to represent something different.

I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.

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.

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
