Personal Quotes"I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.""I might look like a tough chick - and I am - but I'm also a hopeless romantic inside.""Why should I care what other people think of me? I am who I am. And who I wanna be.""I'd like to be a little more hard-rocking on my next album. But I hate the whole label thing."People
ask me if I regret wasting my last teen years on becoming a singer. You
know something? I don't. Because singing is my life. When and if you
want something so badly you'll see. I mean, I'm just so blessed to be
doing what I love to do and to have been given this opportunity. I thank
God because there are so many more talented people out there that will
never even come close to getting a record deal."To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.""My mom wouldn't let me sing 'Strawberry Wine' because it had 'wine' in it.""When
I was 2 my mom said she knew I was going to be a singer. I've been
performing ever since I was a young kid. So I've known I wanted to do
this for awhile. I always knew in my heart that I'd be singing.""I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think."I can write a song a day."My dream was always to hop up on stage in front of my fans every night and perform.""Actually,
I know for a fact there are some young female artists who don't even
sing on their own records and who don't sing live. And that is
pathetic." (about lipsynching)
