I sometimes try to find a way around the truth [on this subject], but, honestly, I think most of it came from my mom playing piano in church.

I always knew that music was my first love. It was exciting when the modeling bit came about, because it�s a real girl thing to think that you can have a shot at something like that. I was trying to figure out how I would get from A to B. I knew that one way or another I would get to the music, but I didn�t know how. At 16, what are you thinking about anyway, except the day and month and year? The long-term plan is not intact.

With music, I just don�t worry about it. It is so [deep] in my heart that I figure, �What�s there to worry about?� When a tennis player�s a great tennis player, if people find them good looking, then they�re a good-looking tennis player. But they can�t win unless they�re good.
