Growing up is important, and I've got to do that gracefully, but also keep myself at a good pace.

Some people think you have more privileges than other teenagers because of what you do, and that's not it at all. It's actually the opposite.

I don’t need the money. I don’t care if I make a dime on this. Let me make a good record.

Hilary Duff has been my role model forever. I went to her concert like right when her music started coming out when I was probably like 11. I was just amazed by her. So now, to be compared to her, it's like...holy moly. It's so cool!

I try to not work too many Sundays. At least on Sunday nights, I try to chill out a little bit. I call it Sunday Funday.

I don't feel rushed to figure myself out. I have all the time in the world to do that.

Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that's red? Because I'm "important"? Because I'm "famous"? That's not how I roll.
