I don't know if people feel this way, but I think by nature that when you start off as a young pop singer, they assume that you're a bit pampered, prissy, and precious, or that you live in a bubble and not in the real world. For me that's not the case.
I wouldn't say I was bullied per se, but I did get a lot of unwanted attention because I was musical and stood out. In school you don't want to stand out; you want to blend in.
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.
Think with your heart, speak with your soul.
What we found is that there is a whole network of people who are college age and older, who are fairly well educated and are looking for an alternative to what's on pop radio. They are into books, movies, and go to cappuccino bars instead of alcohol bars-they are actually a lot like me.
I can't even imagine seeing someone else. I've never had any problems at all. He's been wonderful.
We improved our serving percentage from Tuesday's match.
At the time, I thought it was a piece of cake. Very often, I was playing three clubs a night, sleeping two hours a night, and dashing off to high school. It all seemed very normal to me at the time-especially because I've always believed that success comes from hard work. But I don't think I could ever go back to that kind of lifestyle and not completely lose my mind.
I've been sponsoring kids in Manila, for like, 6 years. And I got to meet them. Now, how many people write away in the mail... you don't even know if these organizations are for real. So, there are examples of the power of music that come into play, like that, where I go, 'This is great. This is amazing that I'm here with these kids.'
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.
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.
There are those people out there that live to destroy communities. Im just afraid that one happened to get elected here,
I guess it's nice to know I have that much depth on our bench. We served very aggressively and our defense was pretty strong. We let few balls drop and were pretty good at keeping the ball in play.
I tend to get into something, like two feet and jump in, you know, she's always kind of going, 'Come on, Deb, it's your career, slow down, take it easy'.
