The Life-Altering Decision She Made In College
"In college, there was a time when I felt lost and had the blues. I wanted to write songs, but I didn't know how to make a career out of it. But I also knew I'd be happy working eight minimum-wage jobs to try and pull it off. So I was doing every job imaginable to pay rent while I was pursuing this career. I guess I like the hunger of not knowing if things will ever work out."

Why Carly Jumped Out Of Bed At 4 A.M.
"Justin Bieber leads by example. I love that he works hard and has fun. I was in Paris promoting my new album, Kiss, for three days with no time off. So I went out at four in the morning to go explore the entire city. I try to make moments happen that feel very special and memorable because that's exactly how Justin does it."
