I've Done Kissing Scenes With People Who

Whenever People Ask Me How I Manage To Get Through This Whole Crazy Time Of Being Incredibly Famous And Sort Of An Icon And Supposedly A Role Model And All Of This Insanity, I Always Cite My Family And Then Books. I Don't Know What I Would Have Done Without Books.

I Just Needed To Leave Hollywood.

My Dad Has Always Just Had A Lot Of Faith In Me As An Artist And As A Person, And He Doesn't Really Dispense With A Lot Of Advice When It Comes To The Music. He's Taught Me A Lot Over The Years, But When I Was Taking On This Project He's Really Hands-off About That. He Just Appreciates What I've Done And Is Very Supportive, And Of Course Really Proud.

Originally I Considered Myself A Singer.
