So a part of you is broken when that’s gone. And part of you wants to have that rebellious feeling where you’re just like, forget it — I can do anything I want. I’ve tried it, and I’ve never been that girl. I’m always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
I've very emotional. When I went through my first breakup, I thought it was the end of the world, and I thought I was going to die if I didn't have him in my life. It was good to cry it out, and just scream, or call my friends in the middle of the night crying.
I've tried it, and I've never been that girl. I'm always going to be the girl you want to take home to your parents, not for the night.
If there never was a night or day and memories could fade away, then we'd be nothing left but the dreams we made
Music is not a very stable business. It comes and it goes, and so does money, but your education stays with you for the rest of your life. When you have that education, and you have nothing to fall back on, you can get a get a job anywhere.
When a child does bad things, the parents are always going to love their child even if they do something bad.
When love hits you, it hits you and you don't expect it.
When I'm singing, I'm another person. I can be really free, in the sense that I can do whatever I want.
When I am singing, I believe that if I respect the public, then they will respect me, and I know it. It's noticeable.
What's really cool about our family is that we don't hold grudges, and I think that is what's been the key to the success. We get into our little disagreements, and whether we're right or wrong, we'll go and apologize. That's just the way we are.
If you have a dream, don't let anybody take it away, and always believe that the impossible is possible.
If you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don't like that.
I have nothing bad to say about my job. I love the public, I love to talk, get to know people, everything.
Anybody can be a role model, anybody can.
