Personal Quotes
Be yourself always, there's no one better!
I was never the girl who thought I need to make sure I look like all the other girls. I think 你 look best when 你 stand out.
[On Having Her Own Band] I'm going to be in a band - no Selena Gomez stuff. I'm not going to be a solo artist. I think that I don't want my name attached to it. I basically want to make 音乐 that is fun and that parents and kids can jump around to and have a good time to.
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!'
[on declaring she will remain a virgin until marriage] I said, 'Dad, I want a promise ring.' He went to the church and got it blessed. He actually used me as an example for other kids. I'm going to keep my promise to myself, to my family and to God.
[on wearing a purity ring] I've had my ring since I was 12 years old. But for me it's not something I want to go around saying, 'Hey, look what I have.' It's a promise I made to myself and God. I think some people misinterpret that as a trend and think everyone's getting one.
[On reports that she and friend, Demi Lovato had a feud] 你 can't care (about reports like that), It's really toxic what they do to the girls in the industry.
[On Lindsay Lohan and her time in rehab] I don't think anybody should be mean because 你 never understand what's someone is going through. And it is partly (this) business, because it is crazy and hectic. So I think that nobody should be rude. If this were a normal person, 你 wouldn't be so judgmental. I feel like people shouldn't judge as much, they should give their sympathy.
[On revealing she would prefer to 日期 someone who is not famous] 你 kind of can't help who you'll fall in 爱情 with. I'd 日期 someone who isn't in the business in a heartbeat.
I 爱情 Katy Brand! She gave me a song for my 秒 album.
Everyone wants songs written 由 Katy Brand. I asked her and she was so nice - she just said, 'Yeah, 你 can have it.' She was very kind.
I don't actually like dates. I get awkward as I never know what to do.
For me, the person that I really admire because they came from this 迪士尼 world would be Shia LaBeouf. He had his own 显示 on 迪士尼 Channel. He was really funny and I loved his show. Then he started to do films. Now he is doing really great films and he is respected as an actor. I really like him a lot as an actor. I think he is cute, too, so that helps. I feel that I can relate to him the most.
I'm going to be Katy Brand for Halloween. I'm going to have the blue hair and the ice cream outfit she did. It's going to be awesome.
[On working with Katy Brand] It is so much fun. It's very soulful and it's kind of got her flair mixed in with my dance kind-of-a-little techno vibe. So it was really amazing and I really loved it. I was extremely honored, cause I'm a huge 粉丝 of hers.
