I am definitely an individual.
I don't get involved in record label politics.
I'd love to be on 'Glee.' I'd love to play a rebel. Be a real biker chick in leather and covered in tattoos.
I love horseback riding. I still do it.
Obviously, a long-distance relationship is hard. But, like anything worth having, you make it work.
I have my best ideas when I am alone.
Since there's no more you and me. It's time I let you go so I Can Be Free.
My mum is my best friend.
I went to Clive Davis' Grammy party and I nearly spontaneously combusted because everyone on my iPod was there!

I'd date someone younger or older age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
I love music but, of course, I'd choose love over that.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
