I don't know if people realize how much I tour and how much time I spend writing, but I really enjoy it.
Whenever I'm done with an album cycle, I still wanna write music. If I'm bored when I'm at home, which never happens, my first instinct is to go to the piano and bang something out.
It's easiest to write songs when I'm either really in love or really mad at a guy. It's just always best when I'm feeling superemotional.
I would like to sit and and write some acoustic stuff. That's what I want to do. It means creatively, that's what I want so I need to do that for myself and then I'll see.
I know my fans look up to me and that's why I make my songs so personal; it's all about things I've experienced and things I like or hate. I write for myself and hope that my fans like what I have to say.
It's so easy for me to do a boy-bashing pop song, but to sit down and write honestly about something that's really close to me, something I've been through, it's a totally different thing.
I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.
Well it's so true because I was only 17 -- I was right out of high school, I didn't even finish,
It felt like it was a break, because I was in one place the whole time,
If something is meant to be, it's gonna work. If two people believe in something really strongly, I think a longdistance relationship is easy. They just make the time to be together. And you have to remember that any relationship is going to be hard...mostly because you're two different people and you have to figure stuff out.
I think it's important to find a line that suits your body, your body type, that you're comfortable in.
I'm a chick, I love clothes, and I'm also in the entertainment industry, so I've done a lot of photo shoots, video shoots, red carpets. So I learned very quickly that fashion is going to be and will be a big part of what I do.
I wanna do a movie! Anything that I connect with, really. I read scripts, I've taken some acting lessons, and I feel like that's definitely my next goal.
I'm famous, so I can't, like, really walk around in malls and stuff like that. I don't really have as much privacy.
