“When it came to performing I just had no fear”
"I've learned that when you have a positive outlook and surround yourself with a great team, you will go far."
"I’ve had low moments where I just didn’t feel good enough—we all do."
"I got along with some people, but a lot of kids disliked me in school. I'd be doing TV since I was six, and I think they thought that I thought I was better than them. That was never the case---I didn't even talk about TV in school! I'd be walking down the hall, and they would yell at me or push me into the wall. It really hurt. So I was afraid to go to school. I would stay in the guidance counselor's office for lunch, just because I didn't feel like I had a place."
"All the photos I've taken have been tasteful. If you show a lot of skin when you're 13, when you're older, when you're 16 or 21, what do you have left to show?"
"I'm not trying to be like the cleanest person who's, like, never gonna show her stomach or anything, but I think I'm real for real girls."
"People say that my music is too mature but I think people really knew what went on in junior high and high school. It's not too mature."
"I like a guy who can survive the streets. I like to feel like if I were ever in trouble, he would help me. I like to feel like a guy is a real dude-dude".
"I'm single right now and it's good. I'm so young. I'm going to be 16 in December and I'm just so busy. It's hard if you also want to date someone who has a high-profile profession; we [Freddy Adu and I] were just both consumed with our own world."
"I don't agree with the things that President George W. Bush has done in office. I'll leave it at that."
“I went from nobody caring to everyone caring about what I was doing and where I was going.”
“Everything has been like a storybook out of a dream”.
“I wanna learn and grow into the type of artist I wanna be.”
“I love to read about history and I love movies where the costumes are elaborate.”
“I know it’s boring, but my family and friends are the most important thing in my life.”
“For me its really important to call one of my friends at the end of the day and have my mum along with me.”
“I love what I do and I love to travel.”
“I choose to continue my education and I choose to pursue my dreams.”
“I love having conversations with my friends about absolutely nothing.”
“It would be a dream of mine to win a Grammy one year, to write and produce my own album and to own a record company.”
“[Leave, Get Out) is kind of telling young girls that you don’t need to take it and if a guy messes up you can just tell him to get out of your life.”
“I guess you could say im kinda a hip-hop girl I really like hip-hop and r&b.”
“I try not to limit myself, so im just gonna try to be myself and be original and hope that people will like it.”
“It’s like living a dream and there’s nothing to put to word when you’re living a fantasy”
“I get really un uncomphtable when people come up to me, I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to do at the end of the day im still a teenage girl, im still awkward and I really don’t know what to do all the time.”
“I remember my mum and I skipping down the street after signing the papers and I felt like such a dream come true, but I didn’t know the work that would come with it but I was ready for whatever it entailed.”
“There was just no turning back, no going back to Massachusetts and living in a one bedroom apartment, that just wasn’t something that I wanted to go back to.”
