“There’s not a day that I don’t work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books.”

Love shouldn’t be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can’t have that from the get-go, there’s a problem.

When it comes to relationships, I think I’m pretty experienced – you’d be surprised.

I have my own studio down in Miami.

Animals keep you company when you’re really lonely. It helps because when you have a friend around who always likes you no matter what – it’s harder to feel bad or down.

My favorite thing about being famous… it’s not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It’s still pretty tough.

People have their own opinions but sometimes with the media things get chopped up and cut around to make stories out of it.

Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it.

I want to be a real artist to consumers. I want to be the real thing for them.

I’ve had my run in with trouble. Fortunately, you know, one slap on the hand is usually the last time for me… I learned my lesson.

I was singing in a mall, and I picked a girl to come up onstage with me. As I was grabbing her hand, I fell off the stage. It felt like I was in the air forever, flying like Superman.

Try to bring me down, but you will never succeed because I’m always moving upward. Maybe not before, but now … I am.

Having a dream, living that dream, losing that dream, dreaming again and then having that dream come true again is one of the greatest feelings ever because I`m stronger.

My career is my girlfriend.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

The main thing in life is not to be afraid of being human.

I would forgive my mom, but she’s going to have to admit she did some things that were wrong.

My life has been the antithesis of that book ‘The Secret’. I’ve always been interested in doing what I do. I love storytelling and I really enjoyed acting, but it never seemed like a realistic thing.

I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I’d done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it.

I do tend to gravitate to the more dramatic side of things. I love feeling intense emotions when I’m acting. I just love characters and stories with conflict.

Because I came out as a singer, I took the time to get an acting coach.

There is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you’re putting on a show.

I’m involved in some action scenes, so they’ll train me for that. I’ll be working with my acting coach to prepare for my character.

It was always part of the plan to move into acting.

Each role has its own different challenges.
