It's so different going in the studio and singing your own music and you don't really think about making sure that the message of the song or the idea behind the song comes across to people. Because it's in your head, it's in your heart, whatever, but it's... different when you're playing a character and you're singing as the character. There's just a lot more involved in that, I guess.

Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.

My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.

Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When you're 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, it's really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didn't watch me that closely.

I think communication is key, too. You're answering all the questions. Thank you. I'll just sit back here.

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

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.
