It seems that your new song, "The Heart Wants What It Wants," was written for you by other people.

Do you realize that the phrase "The heart wants what it wants" was what Woody Allen said to try to justify his relationship with his girlfriend's teenage daughter?

I have noticed your clothing line at Kmart, "Dream Out Loud."  

Please seek education about the things that you're promoting, and stop letting people take advantage of your youth and lack of knowledge.

Please understand, also, that at the time that he took advantage of a young girl and her mother, Woody Allen was a powerful man in the entertainment industry, someone who could ruin people's lives if he wanted to do so.  If Soon Yi Previn has ever wished that she had not had the life that she's had, it is unlikely that she's had the courage to do something else.  There's the fear, and there's also the money.  Many people who are raised in wealth and in the claustrophobia of fame probably think with horror of what it would be like to have to do what's generally considered an honest day's work.
