If you have a dream, don't let anybody take it away, and always believe that the impossible is possible.
When a child does bad things, the parents are always going to love their child even if they do something bad.
So a part of you is broken when that’s gone. And part of you wants to have that rebellious feeling where you’re just like, forget it — I can do anything I want. I’ve tried it, and I’ve never been that girl. I’m always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
Tejano music was hard for us because I was a girl. My dad had a lot of problems while trying to set up shows for us or presentations because there are a lot of men who don't think that women can get the attention of the public. But ... wrong!
We went through a hard time, and we had to turn to music as a means to putting food on the table. And we've been doing it ever since. No regrets either.
I eat anything, and I'm not preoccupied with my figure. The most important [thing] is that the people accept me for my music, not for physical appearances.
I also don't exercise. I can't imagine exercising for two hours. Not my style.
I drive the same car that I've driven since I was 16. That's who I am.
I don't know if I would've had the opportunity to be on 'Wizards of Waverly Place' if it weren't for my heritage. I realize everybody wants what they don't have. But at the end of the day, what you have inside is much more beautiful than what's on the outside!
I'm super laid back. I'm from Texas. I love my family.
We were going to work as hard as we could for each other. She pushed me to limits I never thought possible. She challenged me about how to think and how to play the game.
I want someone who can make me laugh and just be normal and understand my lifestyle and how I wanna live it.
It's not like I've wanted to go out and look for someone. I'm not really good at that.
I learned everything from that show, so it's just a wonderful memory to me. A lot of people would be embarrassed to admit that they were on 'Barney', but I embrace the fact. I just had such a wonderful time doing that show... I learned what a camera and prop is, and all that. I learned my manners too, so I guess that's a good thing!
