I feel like I should be able to be 18 and have the friends that I choose and to have fun and live my life.

I don't think it was me getting rid of any sort of imageI do specific things in my career that are tailored for a specific audience. Obviously I have a younger generation that looks at me - and I really appreciate that. And I just did an animated movie, so I want to respect that and still do things that will earn me that respect. But I also want to do things that challenge me and put me out of my element.

My perfect guy wears converse, is totally laid back, and doesn't worry about being cool.

You reflect on the people who used to be in your life, and it's like, 'Wow, I can't believe that person was ever really in my life.' But people are put into your life for seasons, for different reasons, and to teach you lessons.

I dress like a 30-year-old woman.

I love Katy Perry! She gave me a song for my second album.

I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!
