Music is my first love.
I'm really kind of boring - I'd rather go to bed early and get up early because I really value my time off, my time away from work.
I'm very blessed that I get to dabble in both music and movies, and as long as people are willing to accept me in both roles, I'll be there.
I don't want to take fame for granted because that is when you start to think you are better than everyone else. That is when you start thinking that you are someone that you are not.
My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.
Why do I, Mandy Moore, get a record deal?
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.
I think it's flattering when people say I'm a role model, but I don't think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word 'role model.' I'm not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment.
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.
Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.
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.
I consider myself to be a romantic person, and I love the idea of having a soul mate.
I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.
