Music is my first love.
I wanna be with you, if only for a night to be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight. I wanna be with you, there's nothing left to say.
I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain.
I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, "For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?" I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff.
I consider myself to be a romantic person, and I love the idea of having a soul mate.
I love music and I guess I have less expectations or pressure to kind of put on myself because the music hasn't been some huge sensation.
Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.
I kind of feel, in a way, all of us will forever be asking those questions of ourselves: Who am I and how do I fit in in the world and what is all this about? Because those aren't really... there are no answers to those questions, in a sense.
As long as you're fierce and you have that inner confidence with yourself, you can get through anything.
Why do I, Mandy Moore, get a record deal?
In the music industry, you are in competition with everyone.
I grew up on Nintendo. Mario was my best friend. I can't wait to get inside and play Nintendo GameCube.
I think that dreams, goals, and aspirations, all of that stuff - I'm really lucky to have been able to work with the talented people that I've been able to work with and I hope to be doing that for a very long time.
