They have me in the tabloids all the time without my makeup. My friends always show me. But I don't care. Everybody saw me on 'American Idol' with no makeup so you know what you're getting!

I love that I came up this way. First of all, I have nine close friends, and it's hard to find people you can trust and lean on in this industry.

Oh, honey, I get that all the time.

It's very different and I think that's what confuses people and throws people off, but at the same time I like that, because then it keeps you wondering what I'm going to do next.

My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water.

I would not be a good mother. I mean, I love being an aunt to my niece and nephew. And I used to want to, like, adopt 10 kids - because I had friends who were adopted, and I thought that was the coolest thing, to be chosen. But again, my job is too selfish.
