You have to be a strong person to be in music, especially.

I have to have a little bit of time to myself right before whatever it is that I have to do because most of the time I’m sitting in my head convincing myself to calm down, all right, show down.

I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school.

I would just love to do something where I’d have to train and work really hard and do one of those types of action movies, which a lot of women are doing now.

I had actually been on tour in Japan and I had my own world tour that I was doing. I was used to doing a show for an hour, so I was always learning choreography.

I felt like a dork growing up so this is shocking.

I signed to Def Jam and within two months, I heard that Ja Rule was looking for someone to do a song with.

I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.

Well, Tommy Lee Jones is a little bit more intimidating. He’s definitely a cowboy. He’s from Texas.

That’s my fun time so, to me, doing my homework, studying on what I do, watching the movies, listening to music, all that inspires me so I focus a lot on that and practice.

I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career.

I am also a hard worker and people are sometimes surprised to see that as well.

But people who do not know me are surprised to see me as a real person I guess.

It wasn’t until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music.

Even in relationships, I don’t get my hopes up or anything, especially not right now because I know I’m young and I’ve got plenty of time later in the future.

Even if I don’t have the money to take vocal lessons, I’ll practice in the house by myself singing out loud.

I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.

When I think of the definition of cool and when I look at people, John Travolta is really the definition of cool because, not only is he great in all his movies, but, as a person, he’s just really cool.

When we were doing the cheerleading for this, I was excited about doing it because I always wanted to be a cheerleader. I always wanted to but I didn’t get to because I was working.

I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.

The actors I would like to work with are Julia Roberts, just because I’ve admired her work for a long time, well Brad Pitt. I think you know my reasons.

When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it’s all good, but I don’t take it too seriously.

I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.

I would love to do some kind of mystery movie, or an action flick, something with that combination.

You have to be a strong person to be in music, especially.

I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that’s a good sign.

Still, to this day I go back and listen to music that inspires me to write now.

Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.

Because I get nervous all the time. It’s weird but I think it’s fun and it’s refreshing. It’s always good to be that way. That keeps me appreciative of everything.

Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.

For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.

There hasn’t been one highlight that stands out… but touring and performing has been great.

I like doing arts and crafts, so I would probably go to one of those fun little ceramic places and go paint some plates and do something fun like that.

My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I’ve been doing this for twelve years.

Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.
