I think any parent that makes their kid sit at a piano against their will and practice, they`re going to have a kid that`s not going to want to play the piano.

One of my favorite songs from the album is a song called `For Better or Worse,` and it`s basically about unconditional love, which is, I`d say, an ongoing theme in my personal life.

What I love about how my career has gone up to this point is that I`ve always, always put my head down on my pillow at night, and I`ve been able to say that I`ve done, honestly, what I`ve felt like I wanted to do. And that`s really all you can hope for in everything you do.

This business is about working. It`s really not about glamour. For me, the most glamorous thing about it is to b able to get on stage and perform my music for people. That`s the privilege. And that`s what all the work leads up to, and that`s why it`s worth it to me.

I think that celebrities should never underestimate their power. I mean just to draw attention, because then people get involved on a personal level.

The ideal situation would be to bypass all of the drama and mayhem and just get the music right to the people. I`m confident that we`ll eventually figure it out.

This is the time it all starts, I`m telling you. Like, 16, I mean, forget it. You could just get beat up, you could go through these grueling schedules.

I`m kind of a quirky dresser usually. Like today, I`m actually pretty put together, but I dress kind of off sometimes, but that`s just part of my personality.

I`m glad I started so young, because you are really able to endure so much at that age.

The music now is about my personal life, where I`m at as a 24-year-old young woman, so it`s very honest and it`s very pure and it`s very emotional.

I did, like, a couple of sexier videos, because all of a sudden I went, `Wow, I have a body. I have this side of me that I haven`t shown yet.` And I started kind of playing around with that side of things.
