I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.

When I first got into the entertainment industry, I would always watch Rihanna and all those people, so I was like, 'Ooh, I have to be this.' So my mom was like, 'Just be yourself.'

I'm not aiming to be someone like Christina Aguilera.

I don't want to be the cliche American Idol dude. I want to be different, you know - that's the whole goal, me and music. It's about being yourself and being unique.

I'm not a big Beyonce girl, but I love Rihanna.

I'm trying to be me and embrace all the parts of me that have grown up, listened to more music and soaked up more influences.

I didn't want to just be another girl singer. I wanted there to be something that set me apart.

I think if I was going to be someone for a day, I would want to be a performer, someone big, like Rihanna. I'd want to feel the energy of being on stage. I've always found that very interesting.

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.
