But I don't know what guys I like because I haven't been out with enough to know. I'm still learning.
I work closely with a number of charities from food pantries to drug rehabilitation to natural disaster relief to preventing sexual exploitation of young girls. It is one of the most rewarding things I do.
My parents taught my sister and me the importance of giving back and making a difference in another person's life.
I never imagined I would be in a film with Steve Martin. I was a little star struck, because I grew up watching his movies.
I don't use backing tapes when I am singing and dancing on stage. I can do cartwheels and sing.
Tatoo your name across my heart, so it will remain / not even death could make us part / what kind is it / It could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare / either way I don't want to wake up from you.
I feel like my body is borrowed and this life is very temporary.
Me, myself and I. That's all I got in the end.
You have to feel fortunate to be one of the people whom parents don't mind their children looking up to. The older I get, the more I think about the amount of influence I have on these young girls, and it's scary sometimes. But I also understand how lucky I am to have that.
I'm no longer afraid of conflict, and I don't think conflict is a bad thing.
You can't put your finger on who I am. I can't put my finger on who I am.
I don't feel like I have to please anyone. I feel free. I feel like I'm an adult. I'm grown. I can do what I want. I can say what I want. I can retire if I want. That's why I've worked hard.
I'm over being a pop star. I don't wanna be a hot girl. I wanna be iconic.
Whenever I'm confused about something, I ask God to reveal the answers to my questions, and he does.
