CHARICE PEMPENGCO

I have come to accept the real me. I have come to love the real me. I now celebrate the real me.

I don't want to stay a singer forever. I want to fulfill my dream career as a lawyer!

I wanted to be a doctor, but my mom was like, 'It's really hard and it's going to take 10 years,' so I was like 'OK, I'll just be a lawyer'.

I want to be an entertainment lawyer so I'll be in the business still.

I want to have a record with Beyonce or Lady Gaga. They are both my inspirations. Especially Beyonce. She's like number 1 right now because I love everything about her. Her fashion, her style, her attitude when it comes to singing. She's perfect.

It's a crazy busy schedule, but I still have two hours a day for school because it's a priority.

I really wanted to be a dancer, actually. Michael Jackson inspired me a lot.

Being a famous singer or an international singer - that's my dream, too, but my main goal is to be a real student and be able to graduate and be a lawyer and have my own business.

Celine Dion is one of my heroes. The first song I learned was "My Heart Will Go On." And we sang "Because You Loved Me" for my mom which was a huge deal for me.

I think being on 'Glee' is such a great experience, but I think the best part was when I did 'All By Myself', because I love that song.

Singing is still my number one. This whole acting thing, it's just for experience, and I just want the people to know that I have other stuff that I really love that I really wanna share with them.

Maybe sometimes, when I see some kids, you know, with their families. It's making me cry. You know, maybe when I ask them, sometimes, like, 'How does it feel to have a dad?' And, you know, they tell me this great answers, and sometimes I wish my dad was here.
