If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn't have some of the coolest friends that I'm so glad I've gotten to know.

There are videos where I would go approaching strangers and sing the songs from 'The Lion King. I would have been about four years, and I came running up to people on the beach, strangers that I chose at random and began to sing, and my family never knew where I was, they were always looking for me, trying to imagine who I was harassing this time .

'Mean' is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt like I was being hit in the face every time this person would take to their computer.

You might think I'm bulletproof, but I'm not.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.

What I've learned is not to change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become.

I want a guy who takes charge, but lets me have my say once in a while. A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.
