CHRISTY ROMANO

In my heart of hearts, I know that whatever I do is going to have integrity, and I'm going to work really hard, and I know that fans are going to take to it.

The cool part about working for Disney is that they've allowed me to be a change agent.

Developing a series is a next step for me.

While I'm trying to be different, I'm trying to be very conservative at this point in my career.

So I'll go eat places and then I'll run it off in the show.

I usually shop at Charlotte Ruth and Bebe.

I think I'm going to put together a compilation under Disney's name of my songs that I've done for them - because I've done six or seven by now! The latest was for the Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack. So that's the next thing that's coming out.

I also never went there when I was little because I was too busy working and traveling on national tours.

And I'm working with all these great people at Sony Publishing.

But first I want to get my master's degree at Columbia's School of International Public Affairs.

But it's a Broadway show, so even if you're Christine in Phantom, you're still a princess. All female leads are princesses whether they're Disney princesses or not.

You know, I'd love to do a Maxim shoot. But I'm not going to do it, because that's just stupid to do.

I just got a body wave because I wanted it to look good when it was down.

Because I'm not trying to throw people any curves.

You don't need really expensive clothes to look cute.

And after I make a lot of money, I'll be able to afford running for office.

At this point, I can't say what network would be picking it up, but I know that it would be a success.

I gotta get working, you know? I've been too busy. I've been trying my hardest, but it's really tough.

That's just the way this business works. You're a reliable commodity.

So a lot of me is still a little kid, and I think that kind of helps alter my sense of reality - it makes me able to just become Belle every single night.

I'm recording an album. It's sort of techno mixed with garbage - you, know, intense in-your-face music.

So that's what's going on right now, and I'm looking to put out an album within the next six months.

Just like Tim Robbins is very political - and obviously, Arnold Schwarzenegger must be - I want to be able to have this public personality that's considered authoritative.

See, food I can talk about. I'm Italian, I know the food.

As a performer, much of my life has been spent in the spotlight. I know how important appearance can be to teens, especially the impact it can have on the way you feel about yourself.
