I was always very determined and ambitious, and I knew I would do something that would let me travel and stuff, but I didn't know really know what I would do to get there.

I am really passionate about my career and my music and I am so lucky to be able to do what I do for a job, so for all the early morning starts and long days, I could never trade it all in.

I never felt popular as a child and never had best friends.

I'd rather stay out of the limelight until I've done something I feel proud of.

A lot of my childhood memories involve walking home in floods of tears. At that age, feeling unpopular is difficult to handle.

I'd love to break America, like all artists do. It's a lot of work but, you know, it's got to be done!

I'm so programmed to getting up early that I like to make the most of the day.
