They always talk about the big first thing that you did. I think the only thing that I do mind is I don't want people to only focus on that.
The whole thing is insane, ... Kelly loves Hilary. Hopefully we can all just get along.
The video's kinda sad ... but it's a sad song, so the video obviously has to follow that. But it ends really happy and everything and the family, my family, ends up breaking the cycle of my parents.
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me.
I stood in front of Sony (Music headquarters) out here, I stood right in front of the building with a jam box and a tape player, singing my heart out,
I've dated a couple of guys who were awesome, and the celebrity part of my life and the traveling part are hard to get around. You never get to see each other, especially if you're both musicians.
When I went to Los Angeles right after high school, I got some acting jobs, and I never, ever wanted to be an actress! Public speaking and acting make me want to vomit. But I have never been nervous singing. When it comes to public speaking, I stumble on my words, sweat, and pull at my clothes.
If I was at home watching, I would have thought the same thing: 'Well, she's good now, but that's 'cause of all the TV and everything,'
girl.' But they love that song, and it kind of won them over.
My heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with.
I'm all cried out, you should have seen me backstage before.
I lose my way/And it's not too long before you point it out/I cannot cry/Because you know that's weakness in your eyes/I'm forced to fake/A smile, a laugh everyday of my life/My heart can't possibly break/When it wasn't even whole to start with.
I have a huge voice, so it's a bit more like a Janis Joplin vibe than a younger rock vibe. And I think that's what throws people because they don't know how to take me. Even critics - they don't know how to swallow me because they're like, 'Well, she came up like a total pop act',
It's very different and I think that's what confuses people and throws people off, but at the same time I like that, because then it keeps you wondering what I'm going to do next.
