“When preparing for a concert, I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons.”

“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 get more anxious than nervous before a concert.”

“There’s nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There’s nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That’s the best job in the world.”

“I was singing on the stage with my dad when I was 2. I would sing Hound Dog and silly songs for the fun of it.”

“I’ll be doing a concert and I’ll look out in the crowd and I’ll see 3-year-olds. Then I see 6- and 7-year-olds wearing Hannah Montana wigs and all this stuff. And then I look out and see people who are 18, 19 and 20. I think the reason the show has the wide range is that no matter how old you are, no matter where you come from, you always have a dream or a goal that you’d like to achieve. It shows just a normal girl reaching her dream. So I think that gives a little bit of inspiration to all the viewers.”

“I have candy all the time. I live on gummy bears and peach rings. They’re like dried-up peaches, only dipped in sugar. You can get ‘em at gas stations. They’re like 99 cents for four bags. And cashews. I love cashews.”

“I want a vintage Corvette, black with three stripes.”

“If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like, ‘How do we get one of those?’ and she was like, ‘You can’t get a dolphin. What are you gonna do, like, put it in your pool?’”

“I love perfumes. I collect them and am OCD about how I like the bottles lined up.”

“We go to Cracker Barrel, which is my favorite, and Long John Silver’s. I don’t eat meat, but I love their fish and their hush puppies. I’ll eat eight buckets.”

“Hilary Duff has been my role model forever. I went to her concert like right when her music started coming out when I was probably like 11. I was just amazed by her. So now, to be compared to her, it’s like…holy moly. It’s so cool!”

“I’m a big Hilary Duff person! My family loves her.”

“They’re going to be pretty harsh, so no matter what they’re going to honestly think, they’re going to be like, “You stay, you go home.” That was the most nerve-wracking part.”

“The training is pretty harsh, but it’s so worth it once you’re on stage and getting trophies.”

“We just love hanging outside. That’s why our doors are always opened – literally.”

“I love to sleep. I’d sleep all day if I could.”

“Music is what I breath, what I love to do. It keeps me alive.”

“I’m a big shoe person. Sometimes I’ll be punky, the next day I’ll be preppy. Every day after work, my mom and I go shopping. My dad is about to kill me. I say, ‘We need it, daddy!’”

“I go on pretty big shopping sprees. But when I’m with my friends, they get even worse. Thery’re always like, ‘Come on, just do it!’ It’s hard when you have someone to talk you into it.”

I love everything [Jessica Simpson] ever has on! Jessica can definitely come pick me up in her little Mercedes and take me shopping if she wants!”

“I don’t really have a style — I’m just me. My style is kinda whatever I feel like wearing. A lot of girls feel like they need to wear what everyone else is wearing. But it’s good to have your own trend. People will start following it!”

“I always have two bracelets on my right arm. One is a purple and white bracelet from a fan. I love it! I also wear a bracelet from a waterpark- I’ve had it on for two or three years. My mom says it’s pretty nasty, actually. But you’ll never see me without them ever! In magazine photos, the bracelets are sometimes airbrushed out, but viewers will always see me wearing them during scenes.”

“Nothing that’s too out there. I like to look like what girls would like to look up to and their mums would think that’s cool, that’s different.”
