I don't really exude that 'it' factor.
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.
It's like shock on their face. Because they're like, 'I cannot believe I enjoyed your concert',
I want to show up in a pimped-out Ford Bronco,
I'm excited to be participating in the T-Mobile All Access program, ... I can't wait to hook up with some of my fans and hang out backstage. Performing in New York City is always special, and I am really excited to play at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
Everyone knew I didn't want to do it, but I had to, ... and I don't particularly want to do more.
Everyone says I'm like the girl next door...Y'all must have really weird neighbors!
They wanted just the kids to get wet, but I ... just jumped out there with them.
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.
They have me in the tabloids all the time without my makeup. My friends always show me. But I don't care. Everybody saw me on 'American Idol' with no makeup so you know what you're getting!
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.
