My advice would be to follow your dream. Most of my life, I was in second place before I came in first place. I hope that inspired people to never give up.
I write almost everything, actually. Songs, poems, stories. And stories out of every genre, too.
I say three prayers every night to make sure that God knows I thank him so much.
I would like to sing for the Pope. And the Queen, and at Simon Cowell's wedding.
That's really all I want, to be able to change the world with my voice.
It's good to kind of get away from the star treatment.
When I go to school, I'm always happy because it's a normal kid thing.
Singing is my main goal, and I think philosophy will help me write songs.
Acting and singing are actually very similar because they're both telling a story.
I'm not really a fan of people who think they're better than others. There's no reason to act that way. I couldn't even stand to yell at someone if they bumped right into me.
Anything that I can do with my voice thats good, Ill try to do.
It's always exciting to see different cities I love, and go on tour buses. It's so much fun to travel. My favorite part is being able to perform live in front of all these amazing people; being able to connect with them and seeing their reaction makes me feel very special.
I know that I'm definitely not a big big snob, and I know that at the times that I am a diva I know I'm being a diva. It's kind of annoying to know that you are. Because it's a person I do not want to be. So I'm trying my best not to become a jerk.
My family still treats me like they did when I was 7 or 6.
I warm up with my mom and make sure I understand what the songs are about, and make sure I'm using the right technique. To be honest with you, I really don't practice a lot... Usually I say a prayer and ask the Lord to sing with me and help me and stand on the stage with me.
I don't think I'll ever want to do pop music. I think I'll only ever want to do classical crossover because it's something that I love, and pop just doesn't work for me.
My parents are OK with me wearing a small heel, up to 1.5 inches high. Heels give me height when I wear such long dresses. For me, they complete the outfit.
I'm not going to choose between classical, Broadway or pop. I would love to stay where I am now - a mix of everything.
I have always despised people who thought they were better than others, and I made a promise to myself that I'd never turn into that kind of person. My family also helps to keep me grounded. Whenever I get a 'diva moment,' as they like to call it, they let me know it and say, 'Stop acting like a diva!' They're pretty good at it, too.
Whenever I'm waiting behind the stage, it's kind of like my normal Jackie mode is me talking a lot, playing around, but superstar Jackie mode is me concentrating on making sure that this performance was going to be a great performance.
I'd love to do a Broadway show, but I can't because of the style I sing.
I normally wear Stuart Weitzman or Kors Michael Kors.
I like 'Sponge Bob' and 'The Last Airbender.' I like shows where people get creative to do the impossible.
Um, well, I made a new CD called 'Dream With Me' and it's out now, and I'm really excited about it.
Yes, my parents are strict about me having a childhood. I go ice skating and sledding, and swimming in the summer.
