4. I like being friends with other women who are supportive of women. I think that is important.
5. 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.
6. I grew up doing musical theatre in Orlando, Florida. When I was 14, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time — a deliveryman heard me singing and offered to deliver my demo tape to Sony Music. I was just really lucky.
7. I’m a germ-phobe when I meet a lot of people or shake a lot of hands. I always have hand sanitizer and alcohol swabs so I can sort of go back and forth between the two.

12. When girls feel bad about their looks, 60 percent avoid normal daily activities like raising their hand in class or even going to the doctor.
