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.

When two people - regardless of gender - long to care for each other, to protect each other, to treasure each other, we should do everything we can to foster that.

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

I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.

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 think I found it difficult though to keep a straight face when we were actually working and I wasn't supposed to be laughing.

I just thought it would be a fun rush of adrenaline to jump out of a plane three times.
