I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.

Sometimes when people have kids young, they're not ready.

I didn't have parents who were, you know, racing to get a reality television show, you know? Or looking to benefit in some way from their daughter's fame.

I have a very independent spirit.

The cover I was really excited about was 'Seventeen' magazine. To me, it was much bigger than 'Time.' 'Seventeen' was where I wanted to be.

A lot of people don't realize that not everybody gets high.

When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.
