I'm not letting any stupid decisions get in my way. I want to be a role model, letting girls know that they can follow their dreams.

I've never just been able to be alone, and I'm obsessed with being alone and hearing my thoughts. I'm trying to take this alone time — the five minutes I do have a day — to learn as much as I can.

It really isn't very glamorous to sing because you have to make all these funny faces to make it sound like the record. You really want to sound the best you can so you have to make all these disgusting faces.

With yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it's just a sweet girl.

It does get frustrating having the cameras on you all the time, because if you make mistakes, then the whole world knows about it. Like, it's not just your family and friends, it's everyone. Sometimes I'll watch myself on TV and ask myself, What am I doing, I am the biggest geek. My friends will call me and say, "OMG. Have you seen that commercial of you, you look like such a nerd."

There's no right or wrong, success or failure.

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