I want people to be able to relate to the music, to enjoy the music, in a sense of it being fun and interesting and maybe kind of quirky. I want people to be impacted by the story.

In terms of fashion, I love adding a fun scarf to whatever I'm wearing - it's a great way to dress up a plain outfit!

People need to realize bullying has just as much of an impact online because words are so cutting and difficult to deal with.

Growing up, theres a lot of pressure to be normal. But normal isnt as fun as being yourself.

I just remind myself that the gifts I have, I've been given for a reason and that every day brings new opportunities to use them.

Cool is overrated. Be a geek for what you Love

I love Beyonce. She's so fierce. I also love Lily Allen, and she was an influence on my music.

I really do like Bruno Mars. I think he's very good. And I love Maroon 5.

I'm really passionate about music.

Songwriting is actually a really great outlet. I kind of recommend it. You get to sum up whatever is going on in your life in a song, then perform it really passionately.

I definitely get stage fright.

A responsible woman guides, controls (albeit subtly), directs with superior knowledge that is higher than that of her contemporaries!

To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan...believe...act!

The distance between who I am, and who I want to be is measure only, by my actions.

I think by laying it out for the viewer I'm avoiding the issue of bias.

The Internet...has become the voice of the people in the first genuine experiment in democracy yet conducted in America. It stands ready to serve every facet, every faction.

The only tastes worth having are acquired tastes.

Committees are consumers and sometimes sterilizers of ideas, rarely creators of them.

I love to sing, and I love to talk to people at meet-and-greets.

Time heals all wounds, unless you pick at them.

We just want government to be a smart, supportive, reliable partner to the forces that are working for good in this country.
