I like older boys, but they think oh she's so underage, I love to have someone in mind when I am singing
I would never discredit anyone that is working their way up on a show like "American Idol". I think they work so hard overcoming all of the obstacles to get on the show in the first place and then every week they are judged in front of all of America. I give them complete credit for getting up on stage. I think they deserve all the success that they get.
I've always felt support from my guy. Absolutely. That's what being in a balanced, healthy relationship is all about, is being able to support one another.
I'm my own worst critic, so I try and not focus on what I've done wrong, or what I could improve on.
I guess at a certain point you think, well, singing is singing and acting is acting.
It's so different going in the studio and singing your own music and you don't really think about making sure that the message of the song or the idea behind the song comes across to people. Because it's in your head, it's in your heart, whatever, but it's... different when you're playing a character and you're singing as the character. There's just a lot more involved in that, I guess.
I've really been sort of focused on acting and I feel really lucky because great projects sort of keep coming my way. I guess the criteria that I look for, it gets increasingly difficult because when you have the privilege of working with someone like Diane [Keaton], it's kind of like, 'Well, where do you go from there.'
Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind.
It depends on the scripts and the character and just everybody involved, the other actors and directors. It's just a gut feeling when you find something, you're like, 'Yes, I want to sink my teeth into that.'
The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.
It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.
I've always considered myself a fairly romantic person. I believe in love and falling in love at a young age.
I definitely am looking to do some more dramatic roles; I'd love to do a period piece. I'm just getting started; I feel like there's a whole wealth of options out there to try my hand at.
I'm lucky to attribute my success to the foundation my family gave me. I've always felt grounded in them.
