I'm not in this for the money because if I was, I would have jumped out after our first album.
I'm not trying to sound pretentious, but we did sell 12 million records on the first album, so we did get paid a little bit.
If I did any movies I'd have to take a break from singing, because I'd want it to be really good.
If you asked me what pop is right now. I'd say hip hop.
If you put out 150 percent, then you can always expect 100 percent back. That's what I was always told as a kid, and It's worked for me so far!
Just writing and being in the studio was like therapy for me.
My favorite moments in the show are when I stand by myself and sing.
Senorita was fun to sing, but I don't really have a favorite. When you write a bunch of songs, they're like your babies. You don't pick favorites.
Teen pop will never die as long as there are teens and popular music. It just takes a different head.
The fans have been great to me. I don't think it's asking too much to have me sign something for them.
The way I grew up, I was always taught that it's uncouth to talk about money, and that's not what should inspire you.
This isn't about the money. This is just for me. I love music.
We've been in that situation where you're just so happy to be doing what you love to do that you get taken advantage of.
When I'm in the studio, there are no boundaries.
You can say things a million times, but if you can't sing it, then it really isn't much of a song.
You have a lot of time on these tours. As Alice Cooper said, you can either drink all day or golf.
I think music will always be a big part of my life. I can't go five minutes without singing, sometimes unconsciously. And people stare at me, and I'm wondering why they're staring, and then I'm realizing that I'm belting out a tune.
Honestly, when you're making a movie, you never say, 'Oh, this one's going to suck and go straight to video.' When you're in it, you think you're doing the best work you can do. You're surrounded by people who are working hard. Everybody's hopeful.
If entertainment years were dog years, man, I'd be like Gandhi. I'd be, like, 250 years old.
I remember my mom saying, 'I will take you to every audition, I will support you, but the minute you stop caring about it, I will stop.'
