"If music could go my way, I would say music. But, y`know, movies pay the bills. And I could always play a musician in a movie."
"When I go home, I still have to clean my room, I still have to do the dishes. We have somebody come every now and then to do that stuff, but my mom still makes me clean before she comes."
"I make a lot of my own clothes. I don`t like wearing the same thing everybody else wears".
I`m not too hard on myself about dieting and exercise. Some stars are a little too bony for me. What happened to the booty?
But people who do not know me are surprised to see me as a real person I guess.
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 would love to do some kind of mystery movie, or an action flick, something with that combination.
I also have two dogs, a Chihuahua and a Yorkshire terrier, so if they like him, that`s a good sign.
It wasn`t until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music.
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.
Still, to this day I go back and listen to music that inspires me to write now.
There hasn`t been one highlight that stands out... but touring and performing has been great.
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.
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.
I moved here to California when I was 13 to pursue my acting career.
They had us in Austin, Texas three weeks before we started shooting. I had to train with real cheerleaders from UT, me and four other girls.
Even if I don`t have the money to take vocal lessons, I`ll practice in the house by myself singing out loud.
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.
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 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.
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.
I enjoy being happy every day, and hopefully you can hear my happiness in my music. Life is beautiful.
Also, my mom and family are very important to me and I know that this is not expected.
I enjoy my fun time and everything like that but I love what I do.
You have to be a strong person to be in music, especially.
My advice to someone to follow in my footsteps is to have patience. I`ve been doing this for twelve years.
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.
Living in Maryland, I saw that the opportunities were far greater in California than back home.
For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.
When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it`s all good, but I don`t take it too seriously.
I am also a hard worker and people are sometimes surprised to see that as well.
I`m going in the studio at the end of March and working on my next album which is my Sophomore album here and it`ll be my Junior album overseas.
I like doing simple things like that, just driving around and talking and maybe park at the beach and hang out at the beach and talk.
I did a theatrical musical, Annie Warbucks, when I was 11. We did a tour and we stopped by Los Angeles.
Well, Tommy Lee Jones is a little bit more intimidating. He`s definitely a cowboy. He`s from Texas.
I was living in Maryland and my first week was dreadful. My first week I actually got into a fight at school.
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.
People that you wouldn`t even imagine that I would hang out with. It was weird, but I like hanging out with different, eclectic people.
I am not greedy, so I would gladly give a song to someone else to sing if it makes more sense.
Being in the music business is a totally different industry right there.
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.
On Jennifer Lopez, who had a big hit with Play which was written by Christina: At the studio she said hello to everyone but me. She thought I was there just to make the drinks.
