It's been great to come to the U.S. and not have people judge me because of what they saw or heard when I was 16 and on a TV show. They're actually judging me on the fact that I can sing and how my personality is now. Which I think is great.
I would hope to think my fans are full of attitude, are a bit vicious, and always fight for what they want. That's exactly what I'm going to give them.
I think it's really important to do what you want to do because in the long-run it's your career, you want everything to go well and you want to be happy with what you're doing. It was really important for me to take control of my career.
I think if you want to make an impact, you've got to say what you feel and do what you feel.
