Here's the thing, back in the day, a lot of guys would make fun of me, that I would sing and dance, that I was a cheerleader. But I kept my head on straight. I had goals.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.
I wanted to be a cheerleader, like my sister was - all the most popular and beautiful girls are cheerleaders and I wanted that, and it demolished this vision of myself. That's when I found the piano, when music saved me; that's when I first attempted to write my own songs.
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
I was a cheerleader for nine years!
I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader.
Because I was a dancer, I started going to auditions for musical theater, which forced me to sing.
I've never been a cheerleader. It's so outside of my range of things I could ever do.
I don't know, Y'know, I always wanted to be one of those cheerleader girls and I never was that, and I was never sort of cute and perky, and I always thought it was fun to be cute and perky, and those, I don't know what those girls are doing now.
Even at 10 or 12, I was a hot, fast little cheerleader.
All my friends were cheerleaders, and I was the girl who hung out at home. I just worked on my music all the time.
