I've been so blessed to work with the people I have.
Honestly, I've hated every boyfriend I've had.
In this world, everyone wants to know everything about you, and I think that's funny.
I couldn't relate to kid stuff. 'Jimmy doesn't like me!' Who cares? I was worried we didn't have gas money or food. Those were my concerns.
I've never fallen in love right off the bat. I get scared to say I love you too soon because it means so much. It means you're not seeing an end to things.
I feel like my friends are in a cult because we're like, 'No outsiders!
I've learned to let things roll off my back.
I grew up reading 'Sense and Sensibility' and 'Pride and Prejudice' - girly kind of books.
I like to be judged by my family and friends because they know me.
It's always important to be yourself.
The only person pressuring me is myself.
I remember looking through magazines or watching movies even just a couple of years ago and being like, 'I really want to be part of that,' but not realizing what that was.
Singing really is acting. In a lot of ways, it's much more personal. I love music, and being able to work on that is amazing.
When you see how you react when you suffer that's when you know what you are made of.
