If I'm singing, I'm happy - that's what I've learned about myself.

I'm definitely not a dancer. I can move well, but it's more about the acting and the singing for me. Acting and singing are completely different, so I can't say which one I love better because I love them both. I love acting because I get to play different characters. But I also love my music because I get to portray me.

I guess I'm one of those girls who can be too honest about things for my own good, but I expect it back. I expect people to be honest and blunt with me, too.

You have to be able to love yourself because that's when things fall into place.

I had my first real kiss at Magic Mountain on a park bench. Not the most romantic thing ever.

Work hard and follow your dreams, but never forget where you came from.

Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you're onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.
