I like boys but they think shes under age id love to have somedody in mind when i sing.

It`s a lot more fun to play the bitch than it is to play the perfect girl `cause everybody has a bad side inside of them.

I want to learn about a different religion. I grew up Catholic, but my grandfather was Jewish. Knowledge about other religions can help you understand your own better. I think it`s kind of hypocritical to believe one thing and don`t know about any others. A friend once told me it made her sad to think that if we were to pass away, I would go to heaven but our Jewish friend wouldn`t because she doesn`t believe in Jesus. That totally sent me over the edge! I`m happy with what I believe, but I`m open to the fact that there are people with different faiths, and they might be as passionate about theirs as I am about mine.

Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It`s made me more professional.

I think it`s flattering when people say I`m a role model, but I don`t think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word `role model.` I`m not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment.

I want to be in New York. It`s the place to be.

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.

People tend to see you in one light, and don`t think you can play people who are unlike who you are.

I don`t want to take fame for granted because that is when you start to think you are better than everyone else. That is when you start thinking that you are someone that you are not.

Because I`m in an adult world and I`m really working, my age is just a number. It`s not really who I am.

I`m a spiritual person and a religious person. But for me, it`s all a personal thing. I`m not someone who`ll say, `This is what I believe, and you should too!` It`s more of an internal, quiet, grounded, fulfilling thing for me.

Music is my first love.

[On gay rights] "When two people - regardless of gender - long to care for each other, to protect each other, to treasure each other, we should do everything we can to foster that."

I do think it`s possible to change for the better.

I`m not comfortable doing that. You shouldn`t send that message out, that tight clothes are what get you the attention. If it works for them, fine. But, it`s not for me. - about the prospect of her dressing in revealing outfits similar to those of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera

The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.

I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn`t the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

I like older boys, but they think, `She`s under age.` I`d love to have somebody in mind when I sing.

I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it`s in my blood.

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it`s the greatest feeling in the world. quoted in Woman`s World (12-6-2005)

Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.

I just don`t want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It`s great cross-promotion.

I am not going to talk about my personal life anymore. You have to learn that lesson sometime.

I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I`m a big musical theatre geek.

It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.

When people come up to me and say, `You made it,` I think, `But I`m not done yet. Not everyone`s heard my music.` I want to be a household name.

I`m not an advocate for having sex or not having sex. It`s a personal decision. Whenever you feel ready, you`re ready.
