I've got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I'm from the South - Tennessee, to be exact - and down there, we're all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him!
My dad says I could sing before I could talk, if that's possible. I was always humming and things like that.
I don't want to be perfect, but I do want to be a role model. My mom always tells me that imperfections equal beauty. All of us are imperfect.
I have four shelves covered with journals that I've written. Dad and I are writing songs together. I've probably written 100 songs.
Some of the worst things that have happened in my career, like things getting leaked, have actually been what's best for me, because people knew when I was on that show that I was really growing up.
I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams.
I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot.
I have an opinion. I have my own taste.
I never had, like, a nanny that took care of me. My mom always fed me breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I would say I'm a nice person, and I take pride in the fact that I treat everyone really well, so there's no reason for anyone to ever come at me because I only want the best for everybody else.
I don't have a normal life.
As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don't think of it as work. It's just so much fun.
I'm pretty outspoken.
I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad's not overly protective, but he's a dad no matter what.
You can't live a positive life with a negative mind and if you have a positive outcome you have a positive income and just to have more positivity and just to kind of laugh it off.
I never faked anything. I never played the Disney game of smiling and being a princess and then suddenly having a hard time, saying, 'That isn't who I really am.'
My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.
I love tube socks!
With yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it's just a sweet girl.
I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.
