You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.

The animated bug has bitten pop culture. It makes me feel happy and free. When you don't act seriously, you can make up your own rules.

Sometimes I want to just pull the off switch, but you can't because if you go outside, you have to give people your all. You can't say, 'Oh, you know what? I'm not feeling good today.' No. No one's trying to hear that. When a woman comes up to you and says, 'Hey, my daughter's your biggest fan. Can we have a picture?' - you can't say no.

You have to know that as long as you love who you are - your morals, your values, that type of stuff - you're OK.

I want people - especially young girls - to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You've got to have something else to go with that.

I cannot hold a grudge against Mariah Carey. What people don't understand is that I've looked up to her for so many years.
