“Music is what I breathe, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.”

“Some people don't have a family to fall back on, like I have, and that's when something greater than even that comes in, and that's faith and that's what I have for me, that's what keeps me strong.”

“Don't make me have to choose between what I want and what you think I need. 'Cause I'll always be your little girl, but even little girls have got to dream.”

“Despite the aweful paparazzi drama that people seem to believe, i am still just like you...i obsess over hot guys, get told what to do, and go to school. Believe what you want, but i am NORMAL...whatever that means :)”

“Music is the love of my life. It’s a total escape from reality. Music transports you to another place, someplace unexpecet and meaningful.”

“Do what you are afraid to do.”

“It is important to ask yourself why you’re doing what you’re doing and what purpose it serves in the big picture.”
