I liked being a minor because you can't get into trouble. Now I just have to try and behave myself.

You get built up and put on a pedestal and then people want to bring you down. It can be hurtful. Some people try to make me look bad or not a nice person but it's completely false.

Well, a lot of people don't know this about me, but I'm actually shy around people I don't know. I would just say with my first concert, my first tour, I didn't really talk onstage. I was like, 'Thank you, I love you guys,' or whatever. But now I've just kind of learned to work a crowd.

You can't complain about the pressures, the paparazzi, the madness. Because that is the job. I've always understood that's the deal.

I have to fight to keep my image really me... I rejected some gorgeous publicity shots because they just didn't look like me.
