"When I was five, my mom played piano and I sat there with her, singing. And when I was about 11, my grandmother cut out this article for auditions for a girl group"
It was called Entertainment Review. It was about 21 girls at any given time. They were between the ages of 5 to 18. We would perform -- singing and dancing. When I first was in the group, we were doing retirement homes and fairgrounds. We worked our way up. By the end, we were doing full summers at Busch Gardens and being paid. Some of the girls from PYT were in it with me." "I experienced, I think, true love at a very young age, which is an amazing thing."
"I wrote most of the album. I probably wrote over a hundred songs, but obviously, you can only have 12 songs on the record. We finally decided on the name of the album. We dallied around with Willa's World for a minute, but I came up with Willa Was Here"
"It was weird. It was hard. You don't choose who you fall in love with. I especially didn't get to choose. For people to ridicule you for that, and for people to make you into a monster for being in love with somebody is very, very hard on the soul. It really is. I experienced, I think, true love at a very young age, which is an amazing thing. I still would, even if we're not together, I would still turn around and die for that man. It's that kind of a love situation where you know that person, if you're on your deathbed, that person is going to be there. What the fans say really doesn't matter to me. It's more about what that other person says and what that other person feels, not about what they think. As the fans get older and grow up, I think they kind of realize it. They kind of find other things to do with their time, other than try to make up stories and ridicule you for just being you. When people hate you for being you it's like, 'What did I do to you?'"
"Coming out of a serious relationship, I think you like to do your own thing for awhile -- kind of what I'm doing now."
"Some girls don't get me wrong (my video), they say I'm being trashy. It's supposed to be a female-empowerment thing. Me wallking around, using these guys and ditching them. There's supposed to be some comedy to it.
"I usually go home and hit the beach and the clubs with my friends."
"I just got a call today that I may be going on a very well known sitcom. I'm also auditioning for some movies right now. Music is my first love, but acting would be just as cool. Queen of the bad
"I'm going to take over the world. It's going to be Willa's World. (laughs) There will be no school uniforms in Willa's World, only short shorts." Hurts so bad
"A lot of people mistake my bad-girl image for arrogance or not being a cool person. I hate it when people perceive me as being more of a diva than I really am."
