I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do. And then I think a lot of it sort of comes out sitting down with the people I'm co-writing with and talking to them about what I'm going through and what I want to say. It just sort of happens; every song came about in a completely different yet organic way.

I definitely am looking to do some more dramatic roles; I'd love to do a period piece. I'm just getting started; I feel like there's a whole wealth of options out there to try my hand at.

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

I grew up on Nintendo. Mario was my best friend. I can't wait to get inside and play Nintendo GameCube.

I've really been sort of focused on acting and I feel really lucky because great projects sort of keep coming my way. I guess the criteria that I look for, it gets increasingly difficult because when you have the privilege of working with someone like Diane [Keaton], it's kind of like, 'Well, where do you go from there.'

I'd say the key to a good relationship is communication .

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.
