I love inspiring people, and I love making good music, but I don't stress about it. I don't think I'm ever going to win a Grammy, and I'm OK with that.

Acting is something I work really, really hard on that I throw myself into a situation where I do work 18 hours a day. And I do hope to see longevity.

For me, my music is fun. I don't really take my music that serious.

I was a big tomboy.

I don't want people to look at me as someone who is just this celebrity person.

I usually never sleep in past 10, unless it's the weekend and I had a night out with my friends, because I like to start my day.

I talk so much on stage - too much. I always get in trouble. But it's just the best to be able to connect with people.

Sometimes fans for male pop stars or actors can be a little crazy. I was that way with Jesse McCartney and N'Sync.

The guys that do have the confidence to hit on me are not necessarily my type, but they think they are because I'm a pop star; I sing songs, do movies. I like to feel sexy and confident on stage.

I don't wash my hair every day, which may sound gross, but it's actually really bad for my hair.

My strength is translating emotion because I'm such a feeler.

I'm not the best singer - like, I know I'm not Celine Dion.

P. Diddy gave me his valet ticket once... because he thought I was the valet lady.

I like to be adventurous.

I love traveling and touring, but I have to bring the little things that make me feel at home.

I just try to make my home everywhere I go as much as I possibly can.

I have a pretty healthy perspective on what my past music was.

I'm young: I've lived my life in the public eye, and I've had to figure out how to do that.

It's awful walking into a restaurant and having the whole room look at you, knowing what they're saying.

I was diagnosed with lupus, and I've been through chemotherapy.

It's so disappointing that I've become a tabloid story.

I feel like I look 16 sometimes, which is a bummer, because I would love to date older guys.

It's insane how much press my Instagram will get. It's weird, in a way, that I can dictate the agenda - but I love being able to have a say in all of that.

For a while, my private life was the most talked about thing.

One of my favorite album covers is Miguel's 'Wildheart.'

I was obsessed with 'The Wizard of Oz.'

My mom would still be mad if I didn't say 'please' and 'thank you.'

Every day, I start with a workout; I do vocal lessons, I do piano lessons.

I love being able to work with other artists I admire, but I have a lot to do on my own before I am willing to make it all about embracing other people.

My family and I want to start our own organization to work on global warming and a couple of other things.

Egos turn me off, big time.

Dancing allows me to go away and not have to think of what I'm doing next.

I've never been part of a movie I would watch over and over again, and I'm really proud of it.

Disney is a machine, and I'm grateful for it, but I feel like being part of that environment made me crave the reaction from other projects even more.

It's not like I've wanted to go out and look for someone. I'm not really good at that.

I drive the same car that I've driven since I was 16. That's who I am.

I'm super laid back. I'm from Texas. I love my family.

I dress like a 30-year-old woman.

I used to say that I wanted someone cute and nice, an actor too, so he'd get it. But now I think it would be good for me to date someone who's not in the business.

I love Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Katy Perry. They are all about being themselves and I love that.

I wanted to be like my friends. I hung out with girls who had blue eyes and blond hair and I thought, 'I want to look like them!'

This is a very superficial job. I sit in a chair for two hours and get hair and makeup done and talk about myself in interviews. That's a very vain thing to do. And I do get caught up in it sometimes.

I'm going to hang out with people, and I'm going to explore myself, and I'm okay with that.

I'd love to do my own music for sure. I'd love to have a band.

I wanted to do things that I knew were going to be me.

I love what I do, I can't imagine doing anything else, but ultimately, my goal is to be happy and have a family. That's my life.

I found strength in what hurt me. And in my family - that's my strength as well. I'm truly grateful to be hurt as many times as I have, because I'm happy!

I think life is very, very, very hard, and I've never had anything come super easy to me, no matter what people may think.

I still feel like I'm the girl from Texas.

I have a weakness for anything savory or bad guys. Bad boys.
