I did not grow up spoiled in any way. I just wanted to be on TV.

There were so many things I have had to say sorry for that I wasn’t sorry about.

The reason I never want a book to end is that I start to feel like the characters are my friends. I'll miss them when they're gone.

I think my dad is a lot cooler than other dads. He still acts like he's still 17.

I love my music so much, and I love what I'm doing so much that that has become my other half-rather than another person.

But I don't necessarily define my faith by going to church every Sunday.

I cut the ribbon in Paris, and everyone in Paris speaks French — maybe you knew that. But I'm from Tennessee, and Tennessee girls don't speak French. So suddenly I'm stuck onstage with Minnie and Mickey and everyone is yelling at me in French — I guess they're telling me to get off the stage, but I didn't know what they were saying at the time, so I start dancing with Minnie and Mickey like on the show and finally my aunt comes and gets me off.
