Mom is a planner, an organizer. She's very strong and practical. She's the person that'll tell me if I ever start to change my personality. The balance of the two of them created my personality.

Be the fearless girl that everyone knows would dare to do anything.

I like touring extensively because I think the more hours you spend onstage, the more you know who you are onstage.

I've never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I've wanted the music to do that.

Just because you make a good plan, doesn't mean that's what's gonna happen.

I could wait patiently, but I really wish you would: Drop everything now, meet me in the pourin' rain, Kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain; Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Hit me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down, Give me somethin' that'll haunt me when you're not around; Cause I see sparks fly whenever you . . . smile.

Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
