My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.

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

I wanted to be an actor and I wanted to be a performer. Like Hugh [Grant] said earlier, we might all have this weird gene. Hopefully I will continue to have the talent to allow that gene to play itself out for as long as it can.

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

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.

There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
