I don't know if people realize how much I tour and how much time I spend writing, but I really enjoy it.
Whenever I'm done with an album cycle, I still wanna write music. If I'm bored when I'm at home, which never happens, my first instinct is to go to the piano and bang something out.
It's easiest to write songs when I'm either really in love or really mad at a guy. It's just always best when I'm feeling superemotional.
I would like to sit and and write some acoustic stuff. That's what I want to do. It means creatively, that's what I want so I need to do that for myself and then I'll see.
I know my fans look up to me and that's why I make my songs so personal; it's all about things I've experienced and things I like or hate. I write for myself and hope that my fans like what I have to say.
It's so easy for me to do a boy-bashing pop song, but to sit down and write honestly about something that's really close to me, something I've been through, it's a totally different thing.
I'm just coming out and I'm going to clearly be myself - I write what I feel, I never worry what others think.
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,
