Any girl is going to make time for a relationship if they really want it to happen.
As a blonde, this is such the image for the typical girl in the pop genre of music to have this blonde hair. I loved being a blonde but on a whim, I decided to color my hair.
As I get out of high school, I'm going to start college through correspondence.
Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.
By the time I was 10, my parents were finally persuaded enough to get me voice lessons and let me audition around and do a lot of theater.
Discovering that there were artists outside of the cliche of the '70s helped me form the record's skeleton.
For someone like Britney Spears, who did have her whole life scrutinized, it must have been terrible.
Girls will come up and give you a hug. Guys will stand in the background with their boys like, Yeah, I see you. Boys are so shy and intimidated to come up, and it's like, Why?
Having a boyfriend who is in the industry, he's obviously more understanding and supportive. I don't really think you meet too many people who aren't in the industry.
Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.
Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.
How weird must it be for an author, a writer, whose book has been so successful, to see his words come to life with two people he doesn't know very much?
I am not going to talk about my personal life anymore. You have to learn that lesson sometime.
I didn't realize that there is this whole underground youth Christian movement. It's pretty incredible.
I do think it's possible to change for the better.
I don't feel 17. I don't think I'm necessarily treated as such.
I don't feel I'm the type of person that needs to preach.
I don't know if you can automatically assume you can change a person.
I don't want to take fame for granted because that is when you start to think you are better than everyone else. That is when you start thinking that you are someone that you are not.
I felt passionately about A Walk to Remember.
I got to relax. I wasn't supposed to be the Goddess, the star of the movie, the starlet. It was just kind of fun playing the Plain Jane.
I have a laptop. I'm obsessed with getting online. I like to talk to people and see what they are listening to.
I have a theater background, and I started off doing plays, then I kind of shifted and did a bunch of TV commercials. Then I went back to strictly just the singing.
I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.
I have been writing quite a bit lately and hope to hook up and collaborate with some great songwriters.
I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.
I just signed with Warner Bros. I just changed labels and I'm really excited 'cause I've been writing a lot and hopefully get to record more songs.
I made the album by myself. I paid for it initially. The record company knew I was making the record, but I didn't want a bunch of cooks in the kitchen.
I remember that Vanity Fair photo shoot we did, and everyone there was like 15 and 16 and 17, and I felt so old. I'm not used to feeling like the mother hen.
I think everyone is starting to get into writing their own music and stuff.
I want to be in New York. It's the place to be.
I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.
I want to make the best, coolest pop record I can make. I feel like I actually have something to say and write about. I haven't in the past.
I want to start recording because music is my life.
I was such a big fan of the book by Nicholas Sparks.
I wasn't looking for a lead role. I had a supporting role in The Princess Diaries and I was figuring I would continue that run for a little bit.
I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn't the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.
I would love to study American History or even musical theater, but I also feel like doing some extensive study course or something on the road to occupy my time.
I'd love to do an independent film.
I'm a huge fan of a Christian rock band called Switchfoot.
I'm just this random girl who happened to live in Orlando. I grew up there, did all my training there, going to musical theatre camps and doing community theatre around town.
I'm more of the album track girl than the singles girl.
I'm not a teenager anymore, but you always feel like the young one around.
I'm not comfortable in my own skin yet. I don't think a lot of teenagers out there are either. That's just something that you learn as you mature and you get older.
I'm ready to show people what I'm all about.
I'm really so proud of this movie, and I'm so proud of that album.
I'm religious. Even the books that I've been reading in my spare time have a religious connotation.
I'm the spokesperson for the Sony Psyche, which is a new disc player that is geared towards teen girls. It is really cool looking and they are making them in different colors.
I'm very excited to be part of a film that has something different to say.
I've been reading so many responses on the Internet and people are like, God, Mandy looks so ugly in this movie! And I'm like, Cool, I love it!
If someone cries when they see me it's like, Why are you crying when you see me?
If you are lucky enough to have any bit of success in this industry, windows are going to open. Some people take advantage of it.
If you get emotional at points in the movie, you still walk out of the theatre with a smile on your face because it ends on a positive note.
If you really don't have a passion for music, you are going to crumble. There's too much other stuff that's involved, there's too much hard work.
In the music industry, you are in competition with everyone.
It feels important to go school; not necessarily to further my education, but more like a hobby.
It is one of the biggest compliments that people my age and older like my music and have respect for me. It is the coolest feeling in the world.
It's a lot more fun to play the bitch than it is to play the perfect girl 'cause everybody has a bad side inside of them.
Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
Music is my first love.
My biggest challenge was in my own head, trying to get out of my mind that people were going to have these unrealistic expectations of me.
My favorite actress is Julianne Moore.
Never pass up an opportunity, because you don't know who is sitting in the audience.
Performing is my favorite thing to do.
Sometimes a lot of movies out there cater to us and consider us to be kind of stupid, like they spell everything out for us.
The acting thing is something I've had in my heart since I started doing musical theatre when I was 10.
The actual producing, mixing, and mastering is hard work, harder than what I do.
The comparisons don't bother me anymore.
The first song I ever performed was Wind Beneath My Wings by Bette Midler.
The fun of acting is playing someone different from yourself.
The main goal is to have as many people around the world hear your music as possible. So you are in competition with every single artist that releases material.
The music on the album is not actually music that I grew up listening to, but songs that I have fallen in love with it over the last few years.
There are people that go through their whole life and regret going to work every day, and every day, it's like a new thing for me. It's just so exciting.
To have the opportunity now at 17 to read scripts, have meetings with directors, producers, and possible co-stars, is amazing to me. It is beyond my wildest dreams.
We are all different people, bottom line, no one in this world is the same just because we all happen to sing pop music.
When I read the script, it was written in there that Hilary Fey would sing. I thought it was funny and appropriate.
When I'm on a film set, I miss being on stage and doing a video and having my band and being able to sing. So I feel blessed to be able to go back and forth between the two.
Why do I, Mandy Moore, get a record deal?
You just have to handle the situations as they come, basically. I'm ready for it. Whatever they have to throw at me, I'm ready to take it on.
You usually think of doing a movie and the glamour of Hollywood, of walking out of the trailer and feeling beautiful.
