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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

When I meet somebody, I hang out with them, and it`s all good, but I don`t take it too seriously.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

There hasn`t been one highlight that stands out... but touring and performing has been great.

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

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.

It wasn`t until I was about 17 or 18 years old that I got into music.

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

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

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.

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

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?

"I make a lot of my own clothes. I don`t like wearing the same thing everybody else wears".

"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."

"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."
