It's so different now coming out as a new artist today than it was when I came out almost ten years ago. Now, it's all about singles, it's really quick, it's online. I came out when people sold records and they still do today but - I don't know what the key is.
When I turn the lights out, when I close my eyes, reality overcomes me, I'm living a lie.
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.
Being able to express myself through music and art has always been when I feel the most alive.
She had a pretty face, but her head was up in space.
Well it's so true because I was only 17 -- I was right out of high school, I didn't even finish,
It felt like it was a break, because I was in one place the whole time,
I think she's absolutely stunning and I'm a huge fan.
I think they're awesome. I played in Monterrey and it was one of the best crowds I've ever had.
i dont want to be compared to britney,ashlee,hilary or lindsay. i want to be compared to me.
I was signed by L.A. Reid on Arista Records when I was 16. He understood me and believed in me. Arista folded and I got put on RCA or whatever, then there were new people there, and every six months it changes and more new people come in.
I would have freaked out if I just had one, now that I have five -- I'm just trying to pinch myself,
I felt like I was kind of back living a normal lifestyle, just with a regular job of going to the studio every day. That really was a break for me, actually.
When I'm home I go out with my friends. I go shopping, I go to clubs and I go to movies, ... There's just a certain way you have to do it, and I know how to handle myself and I know how to take care of myself and where I can and can't go and when I can and can't go. It's all do-able. I still have a life. I may have to work a little harder at it, but that's totally fun because most of the time I'm busy anyway.
