If you have your eye set on somebody, don't beat around the bush

When you get to sing with someone you care about, it's magical.

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

I love finding things that scare me and doing them. That's how you grow.

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.

I love being in the studio and singing on stage and performing. It's so much fun. I love every second of it - and I love the way you get to show who you are. I love the way fans are really passionate around the world, so I adore performing and hearing people sing along in different countries.

If you have paparazzi, you know you've gotten somewhere.
