I think it's flattering when people say I'm a role model, but I don't think I am. It depends on your outlook on the word 'role model.' I'm not perfect or anything. I just consider it a great compliment.
I carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.
Music is my passion. It's my priority. I love it.
I love music and I guess I have less expectations or pressure to kind of put on myself because the music hasn't been some huge sensation.
I consider myself to be a romantic person, and I love the idea of having a soul mate.
I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.
I wanna be with you, if only for a night to be the one who's in your arms to hold you tight. I wanna be with you, there's nothing left to say.
Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain.
I grew up on Nintendo. Mario was my best friend. I can't wait to get inside and play Nintendo GameCube.
I love rollercoasters, thrill-seeking, all of that is fun.
When I started out in the industry I was 14 and a beanpole, but over the last few years I've grown. For the most part I feel pretty OK with how I look. I know I'm different from the typical Hollywood ideal of what is beautiful. But quite frankly I don't think that's attainable, and I'm happy to represent something different.
When I was first starting out in the music industry, I was always coupled in the same sentence with Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera - and I was probably the worst of them. I think a lot of people back then thought, 'Mandy Moore... she'll probably go back to where she came from in a year.'
I've got a crush on you, I hope you feel the way that I do, I get a rush when I'm with you... oh I got a crush on you.
I've been sky-diving three times. I would go right now if someone told me the plane was about to take off. I love it. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I don't want to go bungee-jumping.
