With so much on your plate do you have time to just be a teenager?


I do work a lot and travel a lot but I have a friend my age who travels with me. That way I can act my age.


Did you always want to be a performer?


I always wanted to be like my older sister Haylie. When she learned to ride a bike, I had to as well. If she took ballet lessons I did too. I took singing lessons because she did. It all just got more intense until it turned into careers for both of us.


You and Haylie just teamed up for the movie Material Girls. What was that like?


It was a blast. It was like playing dress-up. We had instant chemistry because we are not just sisters but friends.


Is Madonna going to make a guest appearance in the film?


Madonna is producing Material Girls through her company. She also produced Agent Cody Banks, but we haven't met her. We asked her to be in the music video Haylie and I are shooting but we don't have her reply yet.


Are you a fan of Madonna?


Oh, definitely. I grew up listening to Madonna. It feels surreal getting to do a cover of Material Girl. It's such a great dance song.


You're planning a fall tour for your new album but it came out almost a year ago. Isn't that late for a tour?


I try to fit my album tours between my films. What that has meant is that I end up touring quite a while after the albums actually come out. Now that we finished shooting Material Girls, I'm ready to tour.
